Weeks 18 and 19

Week 18 and we’re hurtling towards the end of the season. Club champs and Swim and Survive continued. Swimmer of the Week (with her second qualification of the year) was Isabella Kelly. Also pictured is Edward Bates with his award from last week (if you can make out the pic).

We also congratulated longstanding club member John Rayment on being awarded the Police Service Medal for 40 years service in the police force. We honoured his contribution by asking him to draw the raffle. Another terrible pic – sorry John.

Week 19 saw a cold and windy day but this did not deter our trusty timekeepers.

For the club champs we did the 100 m backstroke and 100 m butterfly – tough week.

Plus we had the final week of Swim and Survive, and a trainer from NSW Royal Life Saving ran the annual Resuscitation (CPR) course, which was well attended.

SOTW was shared this week by Oskar Stubbs and Luke Glasscock. Oskar qualified for 200 m breaststroke, and Luke for 30 m breaststroke. Well done boys!

And it was great to see former club president Grant O’Grady back from the UK and pulling on the budgies for a swim or two.

See you next week!

 

Week 17

A spectacular morning for swimming this week – only a few more weeks to enjoy this wonderful view.

Club Championships continued this week with the  200m FS, 20m BK, 30m BF and 50m BK. A busy day but we still managed to do some club swims and a relay too.

SoTW was shared by Matilda Birch (who qualified for 50m FS) and Edward Bates (who qualified for 100m BR) – well done to them both! Edward had left early so missed his photo op.

And congratulations too to Oskar, Daphne and Laura who were presented with their medals for coming third in their respective age groups at the Battle On the Bay last week.

See you next week!
