The results for Saturday 1 March 2025, including the 100m Breaststroke Championships and Week 5 of the 100m Freestyle Special Events, have been published here.
It was yet another beautiful day at Drummoyne Pool, as the local swimmers made a splash at the Saturday morning meet. Old man weather didn’t know what hit him – sunny skies and only the odd almighty shower later on. A true-blue Aussie pool day!
Highlights from the Pool
Linda Chalker and Sally Kudrna went head-to-head in the Open Women’s 100m Breaststroke. Sally took the victory by a mere whisker, but Linda’s technique remains a thing of beauty.
In the Under 12s, Jude Wilson was ace, clocking 1:40.05 in the 100m Breaststroke, besting his previous time! Archie Murrow had a battle on his hands, but finished strong to nab second place.
Then there was the ever-speedy Skye Lewis, who seems to be racing herself at this point. She snagged first in the Under 12 Girls and the Open Women’s 100m Breaststroke events. Look out champs, Skye’s on the rise like a ripper shark!
Handicap Points Race – It’s Tight!
The Handicap Series heats were a family affray, topping the charts were the Manners family dominating the Under 8s while the Sellars siblings, Luke and Alex, took on their respective heats like seasoned pros. Luke jammed through the 100m Breaststroke in 2:13.72, setting the pool on fire!
Perpetual Battles and Rivalries – Who Had the Edge?
In the Senior Men’s division, Denver Pelly keeps hold of the top spot with his consistent performances. On the flip slide, Adam Christodoulou, while “fast when he feels like it”, opted for a more relaxed approach today – we all know those late-night barbecues can take their toll!
Thomas Pacey showed the young ones how it’s done in his 100m Freestyle Heat with a time of 1:15.69. The Pacey lineage is alive and kicking, spearheaded by the ever-enthusiastic Edward Pacey in the Junior ranks.
Family and Fun Alongside New Entrants
Happy belated birthday to young Lincoln van Loo, who celebrated with a triumph in his 200m Freestyle Handicap heat. The Murrows joined the club recently and have already made splashes in the Under 12s – a mighty welcome to them!
We’ve got a new shooter in the mix too! Archie Murrow plunged into his 100m Breaststroke to grab second place. Keep at it mate – Olympic dreams are made here at Drummoyne!
What a Day at the Pool!
All in all, it’s been just another cracker at Drummoyne. Stay tuned, folks, we’ve got big plans for next week to keep splashing through the summer.
Nobody does it like us – weather can’t hold us back! Catch ya all next weekend!
