So proud of all our swimmers at Club Championships last Friday! 🙌 An incredible 110 personal bests were set across the night — proof that having a go and doing your best is what it’s all about. Well done to everyone who jumped in and raced! Medals and Age Champion awards will be presented at our Annual Presentation Night on March 27.

A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers who helped make the night run smoothly — we couldn’t do it without you!

Thanks for a fantastic night, Sherwood Sharks!

We loved hosting you for an evening of fun and fantastic racing — with more than 100 swimmers diving in and plenty of new PBs achieved. What a great atmosphere! It was also very exciting to welcome Sharkie the mascot… we have to admit, we’re just a little bit jealous! 😉

A huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who helped the night run so smoothly — we couldn’t do it without you. And a special shout-out to April B for baking all the delicious cookies and rice krispies. They were a hit! 🍪✨
