On Tuesday we had 6 students compete at Loddon Mallee Region swimming in Swan Hill. We had a great day in the pool with all students being very competitive against some respectable competitors. Ebony Start had some unreal results winning two of her five individual events. Heidi Start had an incredibly strong age group and managed to bring home multiple 2nd place medals as well as a 3rd. In a tough age group Nick Thompson was competitive narrowly missing out on 3rd place by a fingertip. Jye Roberts had a tough day in the pool with a strong age group of swimmers. We took a blistering 21/U girls 50 x 4 medley relay team for the 2nd year in a row who had an incredible swim knocking 11 seconds off their previous time to bring home a 2nd place.
