The start of something extraordinary

Junior Festival Round Up

Another fantastic weekend of swimming. Thank you so much Ria and Roland for your never-ending support of our children, we really appreciate everything you do for them and us.

Debra, you were an excellent Manager. Thank you.

FAST were outstanding, finishing in 12th place. An extraordinary achievement for such a small team, beaten only by the big clubs in the region.

Several of our swimmers had 100% pbs – Well done Sienna, Leon, Brooklyn, Ethan, and Ryan!

All our other swimmers got at least one pb, even though the meet was unbelievably long and hot.

Our top ten place getters were:

Libby – 1st 200IM, 2nd 100IM and 100 breast, 5th 50 fly and 100 free, 10th 100 back.
Leon – 2nd 200 back, 5th 50 back, 6th 100 back, 9th 400IM and 200 breast, 10th 200 free and 100IM.
Ethan – 8th 50 back and 9th 100 free.
Calee – 9th 50 back.
Mikaela – 10th 50 fly, 100 fly and 400IM.

Leon was our top points scorer with 236 points; he also qualified for DivII in the 200m backstroke.

Congratulations to you all!
