Wet Weather

Given the weather in Sydney over the past few weeks it appears swimming is becoming a must-have skill as we dodge puddles and the constant rain. Just getting into the pool can be a swimming marathon!

Merrylands SwimFest

We did get a bit of a break with the weather for the Merrylands SwimFest, with a cloudy day and only a light shower at times. We had over 200 swimmers attend the SwimFest and received positive feedback about the meet again.

The golden ray of sunshine on the day was the performance of our Merrylands team of swimmers. Our team of 26 swimmers achieved 44 PB’s with 4 gold, 11 silver & 14 bronze medals won. A wonderful effort by every swimmer. Congratulations to everyone who swam. For a detailed report of the achievements see https://merrylandsasc.asn.au/news/ 

A big thank you to everyone who organised and helped at the SwimFest. We cannot run a meet like this without the help of our dedicated committee, parents, carers and friends.

Thank you also to our meet sponsors Club Merrylands, Starr Partners, Merrylands Swim Squad and Alpha Security Corp who kindly provided financial assistance.

Metro South West Area Championships

Last weekend we had a team of 15 swimmers represent our club at the MSW Long Course Area Championships.

Our swimmers again represented the club in outstanding fashion with PB’s, finalists, medals and Metropolitan QT’s swum. Congratulations to the team of swimmers & coaches.
