It was yet another beautiful day at Drummoyne Pool
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!
Handicap Point Score Highlights
- Young Georgie Chalker decided that slow and steady wins the race, clocking in with a stunning improvement to top her heat in the 50m Freestyle. Crikey, she knocked almost 13 seconds off her best!
- It was a battle royale in the Under 10 category, with Harry Thompson setting the pace in the 50m freestyle, giving young Lara Sendelbeck and her sibling, Mia, a thing or two to ponder over dinner. The sibling rivalry can be hotter than a day in January!
- Meanwhile, the young guns Tom Smith and Alessandro Rapisarda from St. Mark’s gave it a red-hot go in the Under 8 age group! Both lads tied for first, proving they really do ‘give it a crack’.
Senior Champs & Veterans Glory
- Hats off to our esteemed veteran Patricia Douglas—fair dinkum, she doesn’t just turn up, she dominates! She keeps all the young’uns honest with another sterling swim.
- Denver Pelly, our 2024 Club Captain, set a cracking pace in the long swims. Watch out for him stroking his way through the competition like a tour de force!
Latest Gossip and Tidbits
- Newbies Lisa Arthur and Zoe King jumped in the deep end and started their journey with us—welcome, ladies! Ready to churn and burn with the rest of us?
- A huge shoutout to Hugo Smith, our charity champ, and his old man, David, for their sterling efforts in Laps for Life. Keep those spirits high!
