🥇 This Week’s Feature Events

🏆 100m Backstroke Championship

This Saturday we host the 100m Backstroke Championship, run by age group, all the way down to the Under 10s.

If you’re younger than U10 and keen to swim an official race, just pop into the club room before racing begins and speak with our officials—they’ll help you get sorted.

💙 100m Freestyle – Week 6 of the Molly Wark & Les Henry Trophies

We’re also into Week 6 of the Molly Wark & Les Henry U/10 Trophy and the Over 35 Trophy series, featuring the 100m Freestyle. These races are always crowd favourites, so expect some spirited swims.

🌊 200m Freestyle – Long Distance Event

Our long‑distance race this week is the 200m Freestyle—a great test of pacing, grit, and technique.

⏱️ Plus the Usual Shorter Events

As always, we’ll have our regular program of shorter races for swimmers of all ages and abilities.

🐬 Battle on the Bay – Congratulations, Team!

A huge round of applause to all our Drummoyne swimmers who competed at Battle on the Bay at Leichhardt Pool last Sunday. You braved truly awful conditions—wind, rain, cold—and still swam your hearts out. Your resilience and team spirit were outstanding, and the club is incredibly proud of you.

Leichhardt Swimming Club will publish the results soon. Look out fro them. Given that only Freestyle and relay were swum we might have a better chance of winning this year!

🎓 School Carnival Stars

It’s been fantastic hearing how many of our swimmers are shining at their school carnivals.
A special shout‑out to Alena Finn and Rex Wilson, who have both qualified for their State Carnival. What an achievement. Keep that momentum rolling.

If you’ve had a great school carnival result, let us know—we love celebrating your success.
