Congratulations to Lily Woolston, Cooper Konopka, Eloise Chegwidden, Harry Chegwidden, Mackenzie Bennet, Zavier Woolston, Roxanne Groom and Thomas Ganter on their impressive improvements.
Several swimmers were also acknowledged for achieving all club upgrade times across every stroke and distance — a significant milestone requiring consistency and determination throughout the season. Congratulations to Celeste Orenshaw, Ruby Harland, Roxanne Groom and Hamilton Anfalous on this outstanding accomplishment.
The Coaches Trainer Awards also highlighted swimmers who demonstrated dedication, consistency and effort within training sessions across the entire season.
