Swimmers,
As the year draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on the highlights of 2024 and celebrate the incredible achievements and community spirit of Drummoyne Swimming Club. We’ve had a fantastic season so far, and there’s plenty to be proud of and look forward to.
A Season of Success
From our youngest swimmers taking their first strokes in competition to our seasoned members smashing personal bests, this season has been a testament to the hard work, dedication, and camaraderie that defines our club. Thank you to all our swimmers, coaches, and parents for your unwavering support and enthusiasm.
Special mentions go out to:
- Harry Thompson for setting a new club record in the U10 50M Freestyle championship race with a blistering time of 35:42, and
- Hayden Howard who smashed it at the NSW State Championships. Hayden qualified for 9 events, made 3 finals – achieving a bronze in the 13 y/o boys 50M breaststroke, and achieved 2 national qualifying times.
- Lynette Brown and Tony Sellars for their tireless efforts with the Junior Squads. Lynette and Tony never miss a beat and we’re very appreciative of their commitment! Lynette, Tony and their helper Jessica will be back on Tuesday the 21st of January.
- Our adult squad swimmers! After a slow start our numbers have picked up considerably with the addition of some of our club teens and new regulars. Our new coach Jessica is working us hard! More swimmers always welcome. Adult Squads will continue throughout the holiday period.
