Battle on the Bay Wrap-up!

Drummoyne Swimming Club Shines at the 2025 Battle on the Bay!

Results and other information from the 2025 Battle on the Bay will soon be available on the club’s website.

The 2025 Battle on the Bay Swimming Carnival, hosted by Ashfield Swimming Club at Ashfield Aquatic Centre on Sunday, March 9th, was a spectacular event filled with fast swims, fierce competition, and outstanding team spirit. Drummoyne Swimming Club put on a fantastic performance, securing third place overall in the team rankings with a total of 3,981 points.

As usual the relays were a real highlight. We didn’t quite get there this year to take home the chocolate trophy in the 10 x 50M relay. But generally speaking our teams did exceptionally well, helped along by the large contingent of supporters cheering them along.

Our swimmers excelled across multiple age groups, achieving impressive individual rankings and showcasing their dedication and talent.
