Whitsunday Swimming Club Hosts Successful LC Transition Meet

The Whitsunday Swimming Club held its annual LC Transition meet on October 19th & 20th at Proserpine Swimming Pool.
170 swimmers travelled from afar, including Townsville, Charters Towers, Moranbah, Mackay, Mirani, Bowen, Cannonvale & of course, our own Whitsunday Swimmers.
There was two days of fast racing, friendly banter, many rubber ducks won, and great memories made.
The Whitsunday Swimming Clubs own swimmers had some spectacular PB’s, A grade upgrades and Mystery Relay Wins. The cheering and support all our swimmers gave each other was heart warming.
Well done to our newest club members, Summer, Jack and Vicky on their first carnival. Amazing swims and we think you are going to fit right in with our club.
This year’s mystery relay was won by Charlie – Cannonvale Cannons, Liam – Mirani, Sophie – Gardens & Mae – Whitsunday. All swimmers in all heats raced spectacularly and to hear the cheering from the spectators was wonderful.
Thank you to all our parents, grandparents and other volunteers who helped us set up, pack up and run the meet. Thank you to Swimming North Queensland officials for you ongoing support of our club and carnival.
Thank you to Aquatic Rush for ensuring your facility was ready to show off to the swimming world. We are very fortunate to have such a great swimming facility in our region and one that supports our club so much.
