2013 Short Course Compeition



11&U JX meet 1 and 12 & Over Division 2 meet 1 

As the Division 2 and JX were the first meets of the short course season it was a great opportunity for swimmers to see their hard work done in the pool pay off. It was great to see some new faces in William Ferrier and Simon Gagliardi competing in their first division 2 event achieving some amazing pb’s. A mention also goes out to Hans Siegloff, Emma Robbinson and Cassandra Dillon who achieved some divison 1 qualifying times, so it will be great to see these swimmers racing at the next division 1 event. 

A number of our junior and development swimmers also swam extremely well at the JX. It was excellent to see the junior swimmers coming out and getting a feel for competition racing with many of our younger swimmers having a go in the come and try 25m events. 

Many of our swimmers received JX patches as they made the JX qualifying times and finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their age. A special mention goes to Catlin Wyman and Shelia Naku. These girls raced four races each and in all four races achieved state qualifying times for their age group. It will be great to see these younger swimmers competing at the state titles this year! 

All up it was a great couple of days of swimming by the swimmers who all blew me away with the pb’s that they achieved. They are now ready to get back in the pool and train hard for the next division 2 and JX coming up in June.
