On Sunday, 9th March, the Whitsunday Swimming Club hosted a short course swim meet at the newly upgraded Collinsville Swimming Pool. This fantastic facility provides the swimming community with an excellent venue for short, fast racing.
In 2024, the Whitsunday Regional Council upgraded the pool from 33m to 25m in length. Certified as a short course pool by Swimming Australia, it will now serve as a premier location for short course meets across the entire Swimming North Queensland region.
A total of 21 swimmers from Whitsunday Swimming Club participated in the meet, racing their hearts out. There were personal bests, medals awarded, and even pool records set. The event saw a great mix of first-timers and seasoned swimmers, with plenty of cheering, laughter, and fun shared by both the swimmers and their families.
A big congratulations to swimmers Alex, Lochlan, Mia, Savanah, Hayden, Axel, Leyton, Chloe, Jayde, Ti, Jax, George, Summer, Jackson, Jack, Alissa, Emeilia, Mackenzie, and Georgia for their outstanding performances. Every swimmer went home with medals, ribbons, beaming smiles, and tired bodies.
Although Ivy was injured, she showed 100% team spirit, cheering her teammates on throughout the event. Coach Jenny proudly watched over her swimmers, celebrating their achievements.
A huge thank you to all the swimmers, families, neighboring clubs, and the pool management team at Aquatic Rush for making the day so memorable.
Whitsunday Swimming Club trains at the Proserpine Swimming Pool from Monday to Thursday, starting at 3:30 pm. New swimmers are always welcome.
