Merrylands' team of 12 swimmers swam extremely well at the Speedo Sprint Series Heats. with new
personal best times swum in 28 out of 34 events.
For 8 of the swimmers this was their first Speedo Sprint Series and for many, their first meet at
the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. 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.
Isaac Adamson, Jessica Adamson, Emily Allen, Emily Evans, Anthony Farrugia, Haley Sharp, Carl Sorensen and Taysha Wilson all swam particularly well - swimming new personal best times in all their events.
Fady Farid achieved the club's best results at the meet, finishing 8th in the 50m Breaststroke, 50m Backstroke and 50m Butterfly.
Congratulations to all our swimmers on their performances.
A big thank you to Vicki Baker and Peta Tunks, our Team Managers for the day, and Peter Johnston and Steven Nguyen, the coaches of the team.
