Open Water Nationals 2013 – Lake Macquarie

Henley and Grange had five swimmers qualify for the Open Water Nationals this year.  Melody Remnant, Cass Dillon, Emma Robinson, Jade de Beer and Maeve Moroney-Plouffe all competed in the 5km swim.  Jade de Beer also competed in the 10km.  Conditions at Lake Macquarie were less than ideal but the girls still gave it their all.   

Saturday started with Jade swimming the 10km.  She placed 6th in the 14 year age group.  Maeve swam her 5km in the afternoon.   

Sunday morning saw Mel take to the water, followed by Cass and then Jade and Emma in the last race of the weekend.  The swimmers really enjoyed the experience of competing at such a high level and had a lot of fun as a team.  Thank you to Sheryl for her hard work preparing these swimmers for their races.
