A Huge Thank You to Last Saturday’s Wet Weather Warriors!
What a way to kick off the year! A massive thank you to all the brave souls who turned up last Saturday for our first race meet after the Christmas break. Despite the wet conditions, you showed true Drummoyne spirit by diving in and giving it your all. Your dedication and enthusiasm, rain or shine, is what makes this club so special.
A special shout out to Alena Finn who took out the George Russell 400M Handicap Trophy and also to Alessandro Rapisarda who swum beautifully from Lane 1 and almost held on for the win.
This Week’s Events – Saturday Racing
We’ve got an exciting morning of racing lined up for Week 13:
Event 1: 50M Backstroke Championship Races
This week we’re crowning our backstroke champions! We’ll run heats for all junior age groups, followed by senior races, before bringing our fastest swimmers together for an Open Final. Who will claim the title of Drummoyne’s fastest backstroker? Don’t miss this exciting showdown!
Event 2: 50M Freestyle Sprint (with 30M and 20M Junior Races)
Speed is the name of the game in our second event. Junior swimmers will tackle the 30M and 20M distances, while our older swimmers will battle it out over the full 50M sprint. Get ready to see some lightning-fast times!
Event 3: 400M Medley
Our final event of the morning is the ultimate test of stamina and skill. The 400M Medley will push every swimmer to their limits, requiring mastery of all four strokes. This is where champions are made! 4 x 30M and 4 x 20M races will be held after the 400M races.
