Wooldridge also won the 50m butterfly in the ASA South Zonal competition against some of the best swimmers from clubs in London, the South East and the South West. It also means that he has qualified for April's British Championships, which will double up as British selection trials for the World Championships in Kazan in Russia, as well as the European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan, and the European Youth Olympic Festival in Tbilisi, Georgia. The Exeter club now have three swimmers who have qualified at the highest national level, with James Wamsley and Tom Downs having previously attained the qualifying mark. At the same meet, Liam White took bronze in the 50m backstroke having also qualified for the 100m backstroke final, while Wamsley reached the 100m breaststroke final and Downs made 100m and 200m butterfly showdowns. Warren Barrett competed in 50m butterfly final, while Katie Townsend was in 50m backstroke final. Jack Pearson also made his return at this level after illness toward the end of last year disrupted his training for a few months. The next national qualifying opportunity for Exeter Swimming Club is at Portsmouth over Easter weekend (April 4-5).
