The 2025 Hancock Prospecting QLD State Sprints took place in Brisbane on February 8th and 9th. The Whitsunday Swimming Club sent nine swimmers to the event, who braved cancelled flights, flooded roads, and enormous potholes to make their way to Brisbane.
The swimmers from the Whitsundays truly shone, with personal best after personal best. It was clear the Whitsunday Swimming Club had arrived as cheering, laughter, and an overall sense of fun and enjoyment filled the Chandler Aquatic Centre. Among the attendees were experienced State Sprint swimmers Axel, Chloe, and Mae, alongside first-timers Hayden, Leyton, Jayde, Ivy, Savanah, and George, who made sure to create lasting memories of their experience.
A big thank you to Aquatic Rush, Managed Computer Solutions, and Hip Pocket Workwear for their generous sponsorship of our state shirts. They looked fantastic!
The celebrations continued on Monday, February 17th, with a club night where JX certificates were awarded to Hayden, Chloe, and Jayde for their impressive JX time achievements at State Sprints. All State swimmers shared their experiences with the rest of the team, inspiring others to strive to attend next year.
