The Metro South West Sprint Meet was held in excellent conditions at Merrylands Swimming Centre on Saturday, 28th March.

Merrylands' team of 18 swimmers took home 11 medals from the meet, including 2 from relays.

Brittany Johnson won two Gold Medals at the meet, winning the 15yrs & Over 50m Freestyle and 50m Butterfly. Brittany also finished 2nd in the 50m Breaststroke and 3rd in the 50m Butterfly.

Peter Johnston won the Gold medal in the 15yrs & Over 50m Breaststroke and our Open Relay Team of Simon Johnston, Jonathan Tuivawa, Amber Johnson and Anthony Ventra also won Gold in the Open 4x50m Freestyle Relay. Our second team of Peter Johnston, Brittany Johnson, Rebecca Tuivawa and Steven Nguyen won the Bronze.

Amber also two individual medals in the 15yrs & Over events, taking home the Silver in the 50m Backstroke and Bronze in the 50m Butterfly. Steven won an individual medal as well, finishing 2nd in the 50m Freestyle.

A number of swimmers also swam new personal best times.

Thank you to all our members who helped run the meet - whether it was running cards, collecting entry fees, officiating or helping setup and pack up - you all did a great job, especially considering we had a number of members unavailable due to the 40th Anniversary Dinner later that night.

Congratulations to all our swimmers on their results. Club results are now available, the full results will be posted once they are available.
