The results for Saturday 2 November 2024 have been published here.
It was yet another beautiful day at Drummoyne Pool, where our eager swimmers took to the water with gusto, despite some northerly winds trying to steal the show.
Let’s give a loud Aussie cheer for the swimmers who qualified for the Geoff Roper 200m Freestyle Trophy final happening on the 23rd of November. If you’re keen on a sneak peek of the trophy contenders, it’s a field of strong competition – watch your backs, folks!
The 100m breaststroke made its debut this season, and boy was it a showcase of gritty performances! The likes of Phil Hayward and Clare Douglas threw down the gauntlet with fierce style as they stormed the length of the pool. Phil did an absolute ripper job, finishing on top in his heat. Keep your eyes peeled for these stalwarts!
And speaking of ripping through the water, Thomas Pacey, our longtime club warrior, clinched the 100m Freestyle heat like the champion he is, with his stopwatch reflecting a personal triumph. His daughter, Jessica Pacey, as new to the club as a hot summer’s day, might just be the next big thing once she gets going – welcome, Jess!
Skye Lewis, representing Sydney Secondary College Balmain Campus, got her engine revving in the 100m Freestyle too! Alongside her brother, Jaxon, the Lewis siblings are gaining momentum over their competitors. Don’t go taking your eye off them just yet.
Special shout-out to Adrian Bell, our trusty Club President and all-around good bloke, who not only runs marathons but directs club meets with as much enthusiasm as a seagull chasing a hot chip!
Notably, it was a family affair with the Douglas-Rapisarda clan making a splash, reinforcing the amateur spirit of competitive banter. Keep at it, ladies!
Whether you’re a salty old veteran like our famed “Race Starter” Gerry Tibbertsma or one of the bright-eyed new recruits such as Yunos Yaqub from Russell Lea Public School, today’s display in the pool deserves hearty applause. It was grand to watch everyone giving it their all, each stroke pushing boundaries and lighting the path to personal bests.
Let’s have another dazzling meet next Saturday, folks. Until then, let’s not just chase our points but keep basking in the camaraderie across the pool lanes—family on deck, fun in the sun!
