Merrylands' team of 12 swimmers swam extremely well at the Speedo Sprint Series Heats, with new personal best times swum in 25 out of 33 events, and every swimmer achieving at least one new personal best time.

For 7 of the swimmers this was their first Speedo Sprint Series and for many, their first swimming meet. Despite this, they managed to overcome their nerves and put into practice what they have been learning at training and club over the past months to take huge chunks of time off their PBs.

Kayla Atkins, Jemma Attard, Kristie Caplikas and Anthony Farrugia all swam particularly well - swimming new personal best times in all their events.

Congratulations to all our swimmers on their performances. The results are available here.

A big thank you to Vicki Baker for organising the seating, and Rachel Johnston and Peter Johnston, the coaches of the team.
