Cumberland Inter-Club Cup
Congratulations to our team of 36 swimmers who competed at the Cumberland Inter-Club Cup last Saturday afternoon.
It was a great afternoon of racing, with 40 new personal best times. We had 55 top-3 swims, including 19 first-place finishes
Unfortunately, it was a tough ask due to the weight of numbers, with 54 swimmers representing Parramatta City. Our team put up a valiant effort and we congratulate Parramatta City on retaining the cup this year. Thanks to McCredie Park who hosted the event this year.
A big thank you to our coaches who prepared our team for the meet and to our parents who worked as timekeepers during the meet and Margaret Edwards for Check Starting at the meet.
Club Uniforms
We have a great range of club uniforms in stock available for sale, see the club’s online shop club shop.
If you have any questions about club uniforms please talk to the Property Officer, Margaret Edwards.
Club Sponsorships
If you are aware of any business which may be interested in providing financial or other support to our club during the season please let Graham know.
