Skewes trumped a strong field in the final at WAVES with a time of 58.69, eclipsing Hocking’s 59.44 set in 2006.

Wodonga’s Mackensey House (59.70) was second, while Albury’s Mackenzy Muller (1:01.92) rounded out the podium.

“It was a pretty good swim for me, it was pretty close to my PB, so I was pretty happy with that,” Skewes said.

“It’s pretty exciting (breaking Belinda’s record).

“I really like racing Mackensey and I really like racing (last year’s champion) Lucinda (Macleod) as well, it was just a good race.

“I’ve been been pretty consistent this weekend which is good.

“The 100m butterfly is my main event at the moment”.

Skewes, 14, will now turn her attention to the national age championships in April.

“I’m not going to the Commonweath (Games) trials, national age is my focus this year,” she said.

“That will change over the next two years when I transition into the open age group.”

Wodonga’s Will Elgin denied club mate Harrison Evans back-to-back Dr Worch Trophy victories as he took out the boys 100m freestyle.

The 16-year-old claimed the pet event with a 55.90 to hold off his close friend Evans (56.52).

Albury’s Bailey Clemson landed a spot on the podium, securing bronze in a time of 56.69.

Elgin was delighted to break through for his first win in the race.

“I’ve swam it the last few years and haven’t done as well against this kid here (Evans)," Elgin said.

“It was good to win it eventually.

“It was (a bit sweeter), especially when you’re good mates with him.

“He was talking a fair bit of trash at the end of last year,” he laughed.

Elgin was a quarter of a second slower than his personal best time in the 100m freestyle, but was still pleased with the swim.
