Abbotsleigh had 5 swimmers represent the SMNE at the Speedo State Finals. Swimmers were selected from the SMNE Heats, with the fastest 4 in each event and age group chosen to represent the SMNE team. To be selected to race at Speedo Finals is already a fantastic achievement in itself!
Swimmers had to dare greatly and stick to their race plans in the face of competition. This was clearly done well as nearly every swim was faster than what was swum at Speedo Heats with many personal bests achieved throughout the day. Our team supported each other through activation and warmups, right through to each other’s races. It was great to also support our SMNE relay teams in which Louis was selected to be a part of.

Congratulations to Louis who participated in the SMNE Relay Team for the Boys 8-10 Freestyle Relay, the team took out first place.
Being 3 weeks from Junior State, this meet is great preparation as we head towards the end of our Summer season. Swimmers can now take what they learnt from the meet and start implementing it at training as we work towards Junior State.
LET’S GO ABBOTSLEIGH!
