Whitsunday Swimming Club Celebrates First Half of 2025/2026 Season

The Whitsunday Swimming Club wrapped up the first half of the 2025/2026 season in style with a festive final club night for 2025 on Monday. Swimmers came together for an evening of laughter, fun swims, Christmas carols, and plenty of food. The festivities were even brightened by a visit from the club’s resident Frogette.

The season so far has been busy, with swimmers competing at a range of meets, including:
Cannonvale SC Meet
Gardens SC Meet
QLD SC Championships
Townsville Tourists Meet
Whitsunday LC Meet
Gardens Preparation Meet
GBR LC Meet
Bowen LC Meet

Swimmers also attended the Junior Achievers JX clinic in Mackay, gaining valuable experience and skills.

Looking ahead, George is set to head to Brisbane in the first week of the December school holidays to compete at the QLD Championships—good luck!

The season has already seen many personal bests, as well as swimmers achieving qualifying times for State, National, QLD Country Championships, and QLD State Sprints events.

A big thank you goes to Coach Jenny for her dedication, motivation, and expert coaching, helping the swimmers reach their goals. The club looks forward to an exciting second half of the season.
