SMNE Winter Champs

Congratulations Team Abb!

We welcome coach Callum as our new team member with a wonderful display of racing throughout the weekend. Our swimmers have been focusing on holding their technique and challenging themselves at a variety of races, including longer events and branching out to different stroke and especially the 200IM.All your coaches loved what you brought to each race.

There were many highlights, the standout was how you supported each other. It was great to see you learning from each other and from each race. We love relays and for the first time we were able to enter A, B, C and D relays for girls 8-13 years and we had relays in each age bracket. The energy on both days for these relays was fantastic.
