21 of our Abbotsleigh junior swimmers competed at our Invitational Meet. There was positive energy that entertained us all day. The enthusiasm to compete and your wonderful smiling faces showed the wider swimming community what team Abb is all about. Swimmers showed great intent around the race skills they had been working on in training that resulted in fantastic racing. The Abb Sprit was on display during our relays with some amazing efforts from all those that took part.
Coaches would like to the celebrate the efforts of two swimmers:
Lily King
For her competitive spirit throughout the weekend. Application of her skills that she has been working on in training to her racing, and finishing every race strong. She carried her positive frame of mind from race to race that allowed her to perform to a high standard throughout the day. Well done Lily.
Seb King
Seb showed a clinical approach to his racing on Sunday. He showed the benefit of going into a race with a plan and executing. He showed great progress in all four strokes, that lead to a dominant performance in his Individual Medley. Well done Seb.
