The duo failed to escape each other on the finishing end for fourth position and settled on the wall as fourth position holders by reporting an identical time of 25.01 seconds.
Sixth position of the discipline was secured by Rohan N Jacobs of SGUL-KZ, who remained only 0.01 seconds slower from his preceding swimmer and tapped the wall with an effort of 25.02 seconds.
The 25-year-old Jacobs was chased by Joel Greenshields of U of A Swim Club, who remained 0.07 seconds apart and obtained seventh position of the event by posting a time of 25.09 seconds.
Greenshields was chased by Bill c***s of TRENT-CAN, who suffered a loss of 0.26 seconds and ended his swim in eighth best place by producing a time of 25.35 seconds.
In addition, Aspinall was overjoyed with his performance and said that he would train harder to make a significant improvement in his pace in order to excel at the superior levels of swimming.
