Merrylands had 2 competitors swim at the 2013 Metro South West Open Water Championships held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Penrith on the 1st December, 2013.

Ian Wilson and Peter Johnston both represented Merrylands in the Boys 17yrs & Over 5km swim. The course involved 2 gruelling laps of the rowing basin. This was the second time Ian and Peter had swum this distance after they both swam in the Bridge to Bridge 5km event at the Regatta Centre in January.

Ian achieved 3rd place in a personal best time, taking 3 mins off the time he set earlier in January this year and Peter came 5th.

Congratulations to Ian and Peter for this massive achievement.
