Swimming Championships

Continuing on from success at the Sydney Championships, Solomon Freeman competed at the CCC Swimming Champs where he claimed 2 x GOLD in 100FLY and 200FS.

Recently, Solomon represented NSWCCC at All Schools Championships and came 7th in the 100FLY and 3rd in the 200FS. This is an incredible performance given he still has another year to race in the U17+ age group.

Showing his continued rise in swimming, Solomon competed at the National Age Swimming Championships on the Gold Coast. Contesting 5 x events, Solomon improved throughout the competition and came 5th in the 400FS. Up next came the 200mFS and after swimming a PB to get into the final with 1.55min, Sol executed one of his best races, swimming a 1.53min

and coming 3rd in Australia.

This performance also qualifies Solomon

to swim at the Olympic Trials which will be a

tremendous experience for someone so

Young and we will all be watching.

Congratulations Solomon.
