The start of something extraordinary

Counties Junior Winter Champs

A fantastic and highly successful weekend for FAST. Many thanks to our Coaches, Ria, Roland and Meg, you were fabulous as always.

Thank you also to all our parents who officiated and congratulations to Grant Weck who qualified as a timekeeper.

FAST, with 68%, had one of the highest pb rates at the meet, and one of the lowest dq rates. The holiday training clearly paid off.

Our 100% pb’ers this meet were: Jessica, Calee, Libby, Charlise, James and Olivia. Excellent swimming.

Congratulations to our medal winners:

Matthew – 1 gold, 4 silvers, 2 bronze      Olivia – 1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze
