Swimming for the LA Current in the women’s 50 SCM free final, Béryl Gastaldello broke the French National Record by .01 with her third-place finish of 23.81. The old mark of 23.82 had been set by Charlotte Bonnet in December 2017 at the European Short Course Championships.
Gastaldello was a multi-time All-American at Texas A&M University where she specialized in 50/100 free and 100 fly. However, until this ISL season, she hadn’t swum the 50 SCM free since 2013. In December of that year she had gone a lifetime-best 24.80 at French Short Course National Championships in Dijon. After a nearly 6-year hiatus, she dusted off her 50 SCM free at the ISL quad match in Lewisville, Texas last weekend. In the first round of the skins race, Gastaldello clocked a PB of 24.23 to finish fifth. Her Budapest swim today was an improvement of .41 in a week. Gastaldello is now one of only four women who have broke the 24-second mark this year.
