GEORGE SHINES AT THE 2025 QLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

George travelled to Brisbane in December to compete at the 2025 Queensland Championships, taking on some of the state’s strongest swimmers in a demanding, week-long program of events. What followed was an outstanding performance that showcased his growth, determination and consistency at championship level.

By the end of the week, George returned home as the Queensland Champion in the 12–14 years 400m MC Freestyle, delivering a standout swim and smashing his personal best by an impressive 3.93 seconds. The result was a reward for months of hard work and commitment in the pool.

He backed that performance up with another podium finish, claiming second place and a silver medal in the 12–14 years 100m MC Backstroke. Once again, George delivered under pressure, taking a further 3.76 seconds off his personal best in the event.

Across the championships, George competed in six events and achieved a personal best in every single one — a remarkable accomplishment that highlights his preparation, focus and resilience across multiple races.

George’s results are a testament to his dedication to training, his positive mindset, and his genuine passion for the sport of swimming. His performances at the Queensland Championships demonstrate what can be achieved through perseverance, discipline and a love of competition.

The Whitsunday Swimming Club is incredibly proud of George and his achievements and congratulates him on an exceptional championship campaign. With performances like these, the future looks bright, and the club eagerly looks forward to seeing what George will achieve in 2026.
