A big congratulations to the Drummoyne swimmers who braved the swell at Manly last weekend to compete in the Cole Classic Ocean Swim.
Pictured below are Jaxon Lewis, Noah Hale, Oscar Hale, Will Bolton, Skye Lewis and Dave Bolton (as well as Adam Lewis’ hand – Adam clearly has a future as a hand model!) This crew were joined by Adrian Bell, Phil Hayward, Michael Hayward, Hannah Hurst, Rosie Tunstall and the Cordaro clan plus Craig Corcoran who swam the 2km event – great work Craig.
A special mention to our two intrepid swimmers Melissa Kerr and Kristy Lewis who dug deep to compete in the 5km swim. The 5km swim goes from Shelley Beach up to Freshwater Beach and the back to South Steyne Beach. Well done Mel and Kristy!

DNS means lost club points!
Everyone who swims at the Carnival will win points for our Club. The faster you go, the more points you will win!
However, if you enter a race but do not swim (DNS) on the day, you will LOSE points for the Club!
So, if you have to leave the Carnival early or expect to arrive late, it will be better for our Club result if you don’t enter yourself into any races that you may miss.
Entry Fees
The entry fee for the Carnival is $7 per swimmer. You will also need to pay pool entry fees on the day.
If you haven’t yet paid your Carnival fee, please click here to pay:
Volunteers
To run the Carnival efficiently we are seeking volunteers to help out with timekeeping, marshaling and other roles. Please volunteer your services if you are able to assist on the day.
History of the Battle on the Bay
The Battle on the Bay Swimming Carnival was started by Drummoyne Swimming Club in 2010 as a fun way of bringing together local clubs in the bay area. Some history on the Carnival and previous results can be found on our web site here:
https://drummoyneswimclub.com.au/battle-on-the-bay-swimming-carnival/
The carnival is a great social meet for our members to compete against other swimmers in the local area. Wear your Club colours and cheer loudly for our team! The highlight of the Carnival is always the relay events at the end, culminating with the 10x50m relay in which the fastest ten swimmers from each club battle it out for supremacy in the pool!
Awards are given to the fastest male and female swimmers in each age group and the Battle on the Bay Trophy will be presented to the fastest Club on the Bay!
