We had the honour of our newly re-elected Mayor and Club Patron Michael Megna presenting the coveted Canada Bay Cup, following the thrilling 8x50m relay. First butterflies and awkward freestyle strokes of the season made the water as busy as Pitt Street during peak hour!
Russell Lea Little Rippers made a splash, but Bay Area Barracudas took home the prize with a time of 5.21.42. Now that’s how you fair dinkum swim your hearts out!
A joyous shout-out to Frances Christodoulou who not only celebrated another splendid year but hit the waters as fresh as a daisy! Meanwhile, our newcomer Elysha Fazzalaro joined her very first club meet, and who knows, might just be the next Thorpie!
Next week’s meet promises to spice things up even more with a few rematches lined up and a chance for some of you to better your PBs. Until then, hang your goggles, rinse your cossies, and prepare to make a bigger splash next Saturday!

It was yet another beautiful day at Drummoyne Pool, where the splash ‘n’ dash crowd strutted their stuff, handbrake turns and all! Never mind that the wind picked up to blow a dog off a chain, nothing could dampen the competitive spirit!
Thomas Pacey arrived with shoes tied (almost) and was all set to clock a classic delay in the 100m freestyle. Phil Hayward, our lifer and poolside oracle, maintained his steady form while keeping a close eye on times.
The colossal clash between the Sendelbeck kiddos was akin to the Grand Slam, as Lara had em’ for company trying to pinch the points led by Mia who sprinted on like she had a rocket strapped on her back, leaving her siblings to take note!
New kid on the block, Elysha Fazzalaro, showed some promise—when not DQ’d rather poked though—but hey, all the talent starts somewhere.
In the senior point score, Alec Yaqub was flying like a seagull after a Chippo chip, clocking a speedy finish with a ‘bestie’ at the line over the 100m. In contradiction, Adam Christodoulou trailed behind, ponderously swimming like in a scene from Jaws looking for his handicap start again.
Denver Pelly dropped in, conserving energy to hold on to his champion’s title, while former champs Frances and Adam Christodoulou kept each other’s company on the timing trials—with Frances sweeping past gracefully—as siblings ought to do.
Among our new prospects creating little waves today were the Rapisarda grandkids, Alessandro and Anna, taking a legendary long dive into the kiddie sprint zone, partly observed by seasoned Grandparent, Patricia Douglas!
Featuring the new debutantes were the Aitken duo, Suzie, as the quickest backstroke poster child and stabling that ritzy First-in-Lane Cup, while Hannah leisurely derricked almost at that top podium spot!
And that’s a wrap folks! Keep practicing your aerodynamics, keep tagging times, and see you splashing back next week – suncream applied, excitement amped, rain or shine!

G’day swim fans! Despite the clouds being like that mate who’s always late—took a bit to clear but finally did—we had an absolute beauty of a meet this Saturday morning. The swimmers at Drummoyne Amateur Swimming Club made quite a splash in the handicap point score series, with fierce rivalries, family feuds, and the odd school tie keeping things interesting!
Great job, everyone! Until next time at the water’s edge, where we’ll put the ‘roo in the pool one lap at a time, no worries!
