Our Race Night on Wednesday was a huge hit, with over 60 swimmers in the pool! 🎉💦

Check out the photos and videos capturing the energy, excitement, and amazing community spirit from the night. A massive thank you to everyone who helped make it such a memorable event!

We were also lucky to have Max with us, not only one of our fantastic club coaches, but also a former state swimmer, as well as Luke and Emma, two of our previous squad swimmers. It’s always special to see our swimmers giving back and being part of the action!

We’ll be doing another one very soon, so stay tuned! 📸✨
