1 Medal at Metro South West Championships 11th August, 2010

Timothy Tunks won the Bronze Medal in the 11yrs 50m Breaststroke at the Metro South West Area Open & Age Short Course Championships on the weekend while the club had finalists in 8 other events.

On Sunday morning, swimming in lane 7, Tim took over almost a second off his PB to not only win his first Area Championship medal, but also qualify for his first State Age Short Course Championships in the process. Earlier in the meet on Saturday morning, Brittany Johnson was a finalist in of her events, with new personal best times in all three of them. Meanwhile, Peter Johnston was also a finalist in all five of the events he contested over the weekend.

Besides the medal and finalist ribbons, 11 new personal best times were swum at the meet with every swimmer swimming at least one new personal best time. The swimmer's results are pleasing in light of the short preparation leading into the meet. Due to the closure of Merrylands, Wentworthville and Guildford pools for maintenance, most swimmers have only been back in the water for the last two weeks after a three week break.
