Merrylands will be represented by 2 swimmers at the NSW State Age 13-18yrs Championships which start at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on Monday, 4th January, 2010.

Our team will compete in 5 individual events over the six day meet.

Amber Johnson will be competing in three events at the meet with her first event, the 16yrs 50m Freestyle, on Tuesday. This meet is the first time Amber has qualified for a Freestyle event at a State Championships since she made her debut as a 9 year old back in 2002 at the State Age Short Course Championships. At subsequent State and Metropolitan Championships, she has only been able to qualify for Backstroke events, narrowly missing out on qualifying for other Freestyle events on a number of occasions.
Amber will also compete in both the 16yrs 100m and 200m Backstroke events later in the week.

Anthony Ventra will also be swimming at the meet and will compete in the 16yrs 50m Freestyle and 100m Breaststroke.
