Adam Moncherry has smashed Seychelles’ 50m butterfly short course record after taking first place in a race at the Cape Winelands Aquatics Summer League 1 & 2 Swimming gala at the Continental swimming pool in South Africa on Sunday September 19, 2021.

He touched the wall in a time of 25.63 seconds, shaving 0.19 off the previous mark set by former Seychelles great Kenny Roberts since April 2002 at the Fédération Internationale de Natation (Fina) World Short Course Championship in Russia. Roberts’ old time was 25.82 seconds.
