SMNE Summer Distance Meet 27/10/19

Last Sunday we kicked off the Long course season at the SMNE Summer Distance Meet. Team ABB was well represented by 16 swimmers competing in 27 individual events. This was the first chance for those that had been on camp to show the work they had put in over the holidays at Camp in Nelson Bay. Great to see Team ABB challenging themselves throughout the day. With a number of swimmers racing different events for the first time. The swimmers showed how that had progressed themselves in their early season training, applying themselves to the numerous areas that they have been working on in the training pool.
