On Saturday, October 11, nearly 200 swimmers and their families came together at the wonderful Prossie Pool. Families travelled from Charters Towers, Townsville, Bowen, Mackay, Mirani, Moranbah, Cannonvale, and Proserpine for a day filled with fun, laughter, fast racing, medals, ribbons, and ducks.
The Whitsunday Swimming Club had 27 swimmers compete, with many first-timers taking to the water. It was fantastic to see the team spirit and support from all our swimmers and parents. Every single swimmer achieved incredible swims and personal bests.
The popular Mystery Relays returned this year, with Charlie, Finn, Tatum, and Skye taking the top spot. A huge thank you to Aquatic RUSH for sponsoring this event with $400 in prize money.
The PB Challenge saw two winners this year — Ivy, with a 2.69-second PB, and Freyja, who matched her exact PB. Well done, girls!
The raffle was a great success, with plenty of happy winners:
Charlotte – SeaLink Whitsundays voucher
Hayley – BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort voucher
Michael – Tassal box of prawns
Patrice – Biltong package from Tastes from Africa
The framed photo and cap prizes went to Ollie (Meg Harris) and Theresa (Jade Edmistone).
Thank you again to Aquatic RUSH for these amazing prizes.
Money board winners were Maria, Kathryn, and Georgia.
A huge thank you to all the businesses who sponsored and donated, including WILMAR for once again supporting this event.
A big shout-out to Community Bank Cannonvale–Proserpine for their generous donations to our carnival and the use of the BBQ trailer, which helped everything run so smoothly.
Thank you to Coaches Jenny, Amanda, Cruze, and Enrico for their training, support, and motivation for our swimmers.
And finally, a massive thank you to all our volunteers — timekeepers, check starters, medal issuers, BBQ mums and dads, raffle helpers, and officials (Theresa, Melissa, Simon, Helen, Dianne, and Kylie). You are all amazing! Your dedication and support for our swimmers and clubs are second to none, and we appreciate you all.
