The Rotuma swimming team leads the 2015 Fiji Games medal tally after the first day yesterday.

Rotuma amassed 10 gold, two silver and five bronze medals while Nadi is in second place with one gold, seven silver and three bronze medals.

Fiji Swimming president Jerome Kado was impressed with results yesterday.

"Results were positive after Day One and both the competitions, Fiji Games and our National Open will serve as selection trials for Pacific Games," Kado said.

A total of 21 national records were broken with the Nadi Barracuda Swimming Club rep Rosemarie Rova setting three new national records in the women's 100m and 200m freestyle and women 50m freestyle.

Meet co-ordinator Bulou Rokomasi Rabua said the competition would be very competitive today.
"There are swimmers who will be coming out strong in the final day," Tikomasi said.

Ten swimmers will represent Fiji at the 2015 Pacific Games in Papua New Guinea in July.
