The Club’s performance in this 5th Round gala resulted in a 3rd position, our best position and points gained to date. Parents and poolside helpers helped cheer the swimmers all the way and they swam with great passion and energy and several PB’s were broken in the process. Once again, many thanks to the parents who helped out with timekeeping and other tasks on poolside, Head Coach Gil Levy and Coach Bob Blake who helped organise and coordinate and last, but not least the swimmers.

The Club had a good night at this White Horse Gala achieving our best points and position to date. The swimmers swam with great enthusiasm and gusto and our parents and supporters held up their end with good vocal support. Many thanks to the parents who helped out with timekeeping and poolside duties and those who supported the team, the older swimmers who encouraged the younger swimmers and Coach Bob Blake who has the unenviable task of coordinating and allocating the swimmers to races and last but not least, the swimmers.
