For news section
Yesterday Tasha swam the 50m freestyle and 4x100m freestyle heats in the morning. She qualified for the 50m fs semi-final, and the team qualified for the final (no semis). Last night she swam the 50m freestyle semi-final in 26.00″ and was placed 16th. It was an exciting yet exhausting day so your American correspondent went to bed early.

Abbotsleigh Swim Club has once again been placed 4th in NSW in the prestigious point score table.
Calculated from points accrued by swimmers at all State competitions (summer, winter, 13O, 12U & Open) we held our own compared with clubs significantly larger than us. This is the second year running that we have been placed 4th in the State.
Club President Chris Yeats commented “This is a fantastic result”.
31 Abbotsleigh swimmers competed at Metro Championships. There was positive energy amongst the team throughout every session. Our Team ABB Spirit was strong, KAIZEN, DARE GREATLY, UNITY, FUN. Swimmers had a plan to execute in the pool and prepared themselves to do this in their style. Swimmers took on personal challenges and used their racing skills to assist their performance. All preparations in the training pool have assisted our swimmers to perform well under the pressure of competition. Abbotsleigh’s use of underwater skills, dive starts and turns was an advantage.
Coaches would like to the celebrate the efforts of two swimmers:
Gold Squad swimmer of meet: Emily Ong
For her application to racing throughout the weekend. Em showed her competitive spirit racing with well executed underwater skills and backing herself with this race plan. Em used her strength to her advantage and it is through her dedication to training efforts that made Metro such a positive experience. Well done Em.
Black squad swimmer of the meet: Sami Cox
Sami progressed her learnings from previous meets, worked on them in training and took this knowledge to the competition pool. This is exactly what coaches want to see from race to race. Sami also showed support for her teammates with positive Team vibes. Well done Sami.
Congratulations to our 9 medallists:
Shaun Champion Bronze 100 fly
Samantha Cox Silver 100 back
Lindsey Kim Silver 100 brs; Silver 100 fly;
Holly Nelson Silver 100 free
Georgia O’Connor Bronze 100 back
Emily Ong Silver 50 back; Bronze 100 back

Sprinter Natasha Ramsden and Head Coach Amanda Isaac have been selected to represent Australia at the 2017 FINA Junior World Swimming Championships. This fantastic news and a huge achievement for both Natasha and Amanda.
The news broke late Friday night at the conclusion of the Australian Age Swimming Championships in Brisbane. During the competition Natasha posted impressive performances in her favoured 50m and 100m Freestyle events under Amanda’s expert guidance.
This is the first time in Abbotsleigh Swimming Club’s history that we have placed people onto a World Championship team. It is the culmination of a lot hard work and commitment by the two of them – and great that Club members will now be able to train with and be coached by Australian representatives!
