The Whitsunday Swimming Club had 11 swimmers attend the 2025 NQ Championships in Townsville over the weekend. It was a long, hot, and exhausting few days, but all our swimmers returned home with terrific achievements, despite their tired bodies.

Alex took home the NQ Champion title in the 17 years & over men’s 50m Butterfly, Breaststroke, and 100m Breaststroke.
Chloe secured a 2nd place finish in the 11 years girls 200IM, with an impressive 8.85-second PB.
Leyton earned 2nd place in the 12-year-old boys 200m and 100m Breaststroke, achieving a huge 6.84-second PB in the finals. He also claimed 3rd in the 50m Breaststroke.
Hayden swam a PB of 5.33 seconds in his 100m Freestyle and another 5.03-second PB in his 100m Breaststroke.
Jayde joined her brothers in the Breaststroke PB challenge, posting a 6.41-second PB in her 100m swim.
Axel swam a 2.83-second PB in his 100m Backstroke and broke his 50m Butterfly PB by 1.77 seconds.
Alissa swam all four of her events with PBs, with her biggest being an 11.26-second improvement in the 50m Butterfly.
Friday night saw Mia, Lochlan, and Amy join the team for the club relays.
Lochlan, Alex, Hayden, and Axel took 3rd place in the 11 & over men’s 400m Freestyle relay. Hayden, George, Leyton, and Axel also earned 3rd in the 8-14 years boys 200m Medley and 200m Freestyle relays.
