The results for Saturday 22 March 2025, including the 800m Freestyle Championships, have been published here.
It was yet another beautiful day at Drummoyne Pool, with the flippers in full force and spirits soaring higher than a kangaroo over a billabong! Today’s weather kept us on our toes, with a partly cloudy sky and a medium chance of showers, but nothing a true Aussie swimmer can’t handle.
Our aquatic superhero, Denver Pelly, blazed through the 800m to bag the top spot with a killer time of 10:57.66! Rex “Pocket Rocket” Wilson wasn’t far behind, missing out on the gold by just a smidge. Lincoln “Loch Ness” van Loo claimed third, while David “I’m-gonna-smash-that-timer” Smith showed remarkable improvement this season. All the blokes gave it their all, and we’ve got our eyes on Harry Thompson, the young gun who keeps pushing his limits! Paul Martin might have slid a bit in the standings, but we know he’s got a comeback brewing.
Elizabeth Allan is living up to her “Captain Fantastic” title, leading the charge with a triumphant swim and finishing first. Jenny Gaskin made sure Elizabeth felt the heat, snagging second place by a whisker. Lyndal Rapisarda, known as ‘Rocket Rapisarda’, continues her streak with a bronze, showing that family ties give you extra turbo! Frances Christodoulou may have missed out on a podium but, as always, left us smiling brighter than a Sydney sunrise. Sally Kudrna couldn’t outdo her recent best, but watch this space next meet!
Things got competitive in our beloved relay events. In the Geribo Cup Relay, “Murrow Mermaids” floated to victory with style, leaving a trail of bubbles. “Better Late Than Never” proved indeed to be better, sprinting past the pack despite a few wrong turns! Team “Chalker” wasn’t chalking it up, battling through for a solid mid-pack finish.
The juniors and seniors turned on the waterworks in a fierce Handicap Point Score battle. In the Under 6 category, Tony “Tiny Tornado” Thompson maintains his supremacy. While in male seniors, Thomas Pacey, our seasoned spearhead, set a brisk pace winning top points, with Ian Allan and Adam Christodoulou not too far behind—mate, we love a good rivalry! Jenny Gaskin leads the women’s seniors, showing that experience combined with determination is the name of the game!
Birthday Bashes: Happy belated splashes to the newly nine-year-old Thomas Pearson, asking “what’s my handicap start again?” Legends like Phil Hayward and Duncan Lyon lurked around the poolside, inspiring the young and young-at-heart as only veterans do. We love seeing Mary Hartley, recently back from shoulder surgery, taking the plunge again!
All in all, a cracker of a day at the pool! Keep your goggles fog-free and your resolve sharp ‘cos there’s plenty more swimming to be done and rivals to out-splash. No amount of clouds or sprinkles could dampen this lot’s spirits!
