Wow! What a start to the Australian Masters Championships with the 800m Freestyle on Day 1. Merrylands had two representatives in this event and we are extremely proud of their performances!

Varant Jambazian swam a new personal best time, taking over 45 seconds off his previous best, which was set in the club championships in December last year. Varant did a great job with his pacing to swim a very controlled race to finish just outside the medals with 4th in his age group.


Kylee Murray also swam a new personal best time, beating her time from 2023 by 12 seconds to finish in 6th place. Along the way, Kylee swam season-best times in her 200m and 400m splits and held on for a wonderful result!


Congratulations to Varant and Kylee on their swims.

Day 2 tomorrow will feature our team in the 200m Breaststroke, 200m Butterfly, 100m Freestyle and 100m Backstroke.
