Pioneer Swim Club swimmers travelled to Townsville for the Gardens Open Long Course Preparation Meet on the weekend of November 5 and 6, 2022.
A great weekend of competitive swimming was enjoyed by the team, the host team having put on a cracking event.
The Gardens Carnival is a favourite on the swim calendar for many clubs, all travelling from near and far with a total of over 300 swimmers swimming at this meet.
Many of the Dolphins achieved huge personal bests and qualified for the upcoming State competitions in December and February at the Sleeman Sports Complex in Brisbane.
A highlight at Gardens Carnival are the relays held on the Saturday afternoon.
Pioneer entered various relay teams with 2 of our teams bringing home the gold – the Female 11 years and over team comprising of Kylie Smith, Stevie Brand, Jade Bounden and Ella Bounden as well as the Female 8–10 years team comprising of Annaliese Miles, Joleigh Strydom, Makenna Malagueno and Madison Malagueno.
Well done to all our swimmers for your individual and team successes!
