Santa comes early to Abbotsleigh
Ho ho ho! It must be time for a sausage sizzle!
As we all know, swimmers are early birds. It’s no different at Abbotsleigh where, this year, Santa arrived on 8th December to help us annihilate a butchery full of sausages.
Chris ‘the Pres’ said a few words. Cameron presented certificates and water bottles to State qualifiers. Amanda and our team at the Pacific School Games were having fun in Adelaide.

SMNE DISTANCE MEET – Zac Dunlop
Zac carried his positive training efforts into the racing pool. Zac had been diligent with preparation and knew what he wanted to work on and made sure of it in the competition pool. Skills that stood out were his turn approach, fast execution of turns and push offs. Even in races were Zac was leading, he continued to fight to improve himself. Great Team ABB spirit Zac!
