It was a sunny morning down on pool deck last Saturday and it was time for the final of the Geoff Roper 200m Freestyle Handicap race.

With an 86 second handicap between lanes 1 and 2 and even more for the other 4 swimmers, it was going to be a tough ask to win from a lane other than 1. Once all swimmers finally entered the water, it was clear it was going to be a close race. Swimmers gave it all they got with all of them swimming the last lap together. Swimmers crept up and it was eventually Samuel Eastwood in lane 1 who took out the trophy! Congratulations Samuel!

It was a fantastic effort from all the finalists and a special shout out goes to Andrew Sharpe who with a 133 second handicap from lane 6, made up massive ground and delivered an incredible swim. Never has it been so close from the most handicapped swimmer!

Congratulations all swimmers!

Just a reminder that kids squads are on Tuesday and Thursday mornings down at the pool. Squads are coached by life members Lynette Brown and Phil Hayward on Tuesday mornings while former club captain Will Taylor takes the lead on Thursdays.

All junior members of the club are welcome and squads are free – just pay pool entry.

When: Tuesday & Thursday mornings
Time: 5:45am – 7:00am
Where: Drummoyne Swimming Pool – Lanes 1 & 2
