1 Woden Swim Club Home of the Sharks WEBSITE : wodenswimclub.org.au WHAT S ON IN MARCH 3 rd -5 th : SNSW State Open Championships Sydney 12 th : SNSW Speedo Sprint Finals - Sydney 19 th : Queanbeyan Development Meet #4 AIS 19 th : ACT Relay Championships AIS 19 th : ACT Distance Meet #4 AIS 26 th : Brophy AIS 26 th : National Age Time Trial -AIS Club Night FRIDAY, 24 MARCH 2017 A few points on the NSW Country championships to supplement the excellent report from Lisa. It is always pleasing to see new swimmers competing at this level and the efforts of Eric were particularly noteworthy including his excellent efforts in the relays up against much older swimmers. It was also very exciting to see a couple of first time medallists in Jessica (two including another national qualifying time) and Kurt with his fine 50 FS swim. These meets are about racing to the best of our ability and learning from our experience. The team raced very well despite some illness in the group finishing very high up in the pointscore. This was the result of some very strong medal winning swims but just as importantly consistent efforts and results across the team. I was very happy with both the positive team morale as well as the racing effort. Amongst the lessons learnt was the need to get to marshalling on time. At this level it means at least 2 events before the swimmers race. A special thought for Amy who was very disappointed at not being able to compete due to illness. Amy had prepared very well but she will get further opportunities to show how she has progressed. Finally an outstanding swim form Yaroslav in the 50 FS further lowering the ACT record and breaking 30 seconds for the first time. 1 st : ALEXEY 9yrs (Blue) 3 rd : LANA 12yrs (Blue) 7 th : KURT 11yrs (Bronze/Silver) 14 th : EMILY 9yrs (Blue) 24 th : LEWIS 8yrs (Blue) 24 th : LIBBY 9yrs (Blue) 3-5 February 2017 : ACT Championships/Speedo Sprints We had a great team of Sharks compete at the ACT Championships/Speedo Sprints at the AIS on the 3rd, 4th & 5th of February, 2017 including: Emily, Patrick, Amy, Emma G, Olivia, Brooke, Jarrod, Jessica, Kurt, Ethan, Jake M, Kiara, Jake N, Libby, Nicholas, Ben, Imogen, Lillian, Jasmine T, Natasha, Rebecca, Eric, Kevin and Yaroslav.
