The year has been a success with 22 swimmers in total swimming with the club. There was many new swimmers that have joined, one from as far abroad as Maryborough, and another family from Dimboola.

It is a big commitment to swim, lots of practice has happened throughout the year and the PB’s are the results that swimmers can see from all their hard work. We have had a team of very committed coaches, 3 of those don’t even have children swimming, thanks to Keisha, Bec and Stacey.

All parents are a great support to the club, with such a small club it isn’t possible to have a swimmer without helping. Stacey has also ran a Skills Group through the season for the younger swimmers which is a huge effort and great help to the future of the club.
