• Shorter races (shorter distances for our younger swimmers and those who prefer not to do 400m)

Feature Event – BBB Handicap Heats:

This week marks the beginning of something special – the heats for our World Famous BBB Handicap Trophy Race! The finals will be held on 29th November, so don’t miss your chance to compete for this prestigious trophy.

For those new to the club, the BBB race is a unique Drummoyne Swimming Club tradition where swimmers choose their “B” stroke (Backstroke, Breaststroke, or Butterfly) and compete on handicap.

200M Freestyle – Our distance event for the week, and an important one! This race will serve double duty (see below for details about the Geoff Roper Trophy).

Our amazing Harry Thompson has been competing at the School Sport Australia Games in Ballarat. As every student of Australian history will know, Ballarat is all about gold. And Harry has been mining his very own little treasure trove…

Harry’s results include:

• 1st place in the 4 x 50M Relay
• 1st place in the 4 x 50M Medley Relay
• 6th place in the 50M Freestyle event in a new PB of 30.97 seconds

It’s crazy to think Harry is the 6th fastest freestyler in his age group in the country!

Congratulations Harry and family…
