On a bleak and ominous evening, we had an exceptional turn out to our first monthly carnival at the Botany Aquatic Centre. With dark gray skies and off and on showers, we wondered how many would turn up for the festivities. I personally was very impressed and give a big pat on the back to everyone who came along. We had 32 swimmers compared to last year’s first night where 22 took part. Great work.
The “Blue vs Green” team format is again in place. With team captains selected, and swimmers allocated to one team for the whole season, we expect the drama to unfold each month. Joshua Scott has returned from his stint in the northern suburbs to take command of the Green Team this season, while Cello Georgouras will lead the Blue Team in opposition.
Each club night will offer the same standard events, 50 Freestyle, 50 Backstroke, 50 Breaststroke, and 50 Butterfly. The first heat of the Freestyle will start promptly at 7:30. Then fun activities will follow the swimming: BBQ, bevies, games, and waterslides are opportunities.
Swimming this evening was outstanding, even with the chilly conditions. We had 22 individual club records set across multiple age groups. Standout swimmers were 4 time record setters: Carly Riddoch and Joshua Scott, triple records were put in by Morgan Scott, Nicholas Gannon, and Jake Gannon, and additional records were set by Jonathon Henderson, sister Jessica, and Bazza Horrey, and Natasha Riddoch.
After the Freestyle events, the Green Team was riding a healthy 8-point lead. The Blue Team fought back with tough performances in the Backstroke and Breaststroke, however, with the sudden departure of their captain, the Blue troops were taken out with a strong Green showing in the Butterfly. Final Score was Green 76 Blue 65.
So the Green team takes the early lead into our next Club Night, November 17th (Our wonderful Club Secretary Marg’s Birthday!!) Come on Blue, lets see what you’ve got.
Special thanks go out to those who helped the night work: Mick for running the
BBQ, Georgina, Bernie, Christine, Mark, John, Chris Cole, and all involved.
