Swim Fit

A team of twelve Sunshine Coast Masters Swimmers (pictured) competed at last year's combined National and State Championships at the Sleeman Centre, Chandler. They came away with a total of 11 Gold, 17 Siver and 12 Bronze medals - a great result for this small but dedicated group of swimmers!

The Open Water part of these Championships was held at Lake Kawana after the pool events - swum over 3 distances - 1.25Km, 2.5Km and 5Km. Our swimmers again did well with 3 medals from 4 swimmers.
