This week we have a very busy schedule of racing.
We start with the 400M Freestyle Championship event for seniors and age groups. This will be followed by an Open final for the fastest male and female swimmers regardless of age.
Besides the 800M event on the last day of the season, the Open 400M Freestyle Championship is our premiere long distance championship race. It’s a chance for the adults with years of distance training under their belts to hold the young squids at bay. Will that be the case this year? Or will an ever improving youngster take out an Open title?
We’ll have shorter races as usual for youngsters and those who don’t want to do 400M.
The 400M Championship races will be followed by the 50M Freestyle Sprint races, this week being the heats of the Tom Williams 50m Freestyle (H’cap) trophy. Heat winners will head to the final on the 25th of February.
The final race this Saturday morning is our form stroke the 50M Breaststroke.
As part of our breaststroke program we have the final of the 50M Breaststroke handicap event, the Bill Gallie trophy. The finalists this season are:
| ID | Name |
|---|---|
| 1609 | Hugo SMITH |
| 111 | Phil HAYWARD |
| 1493 | Audrey ALLAN |
| 1494 | Charlotte ALLAN |
| 1484 | Ruby NICHOLS |
| 1584 | Sally KUDRNA |
| 1193 | Warwick PELLY |
| 1640 | David SMITH |
| 1689 | Paul MARTIN |
Last year’s winner was Jude Wilson. Jude hasn’t made the final this summer but his mum Sally has! Will Sally take the trophy back home again?
Battle on the Bay
Don’t forget that after a very busy morning of swimming we have the Battle on the Bay at Leichhardt Pool. Warm-up from 14:30. See you there.
