SESA 2026 Area Winter Championships Batemans Bay - What a weekend for Kiama Swim Club!
Nineteen of our swimmers travelled to Batemans Bay to compete in the SESA 2026 Area Winter Championships, and what a memorable weekend it was.
Our annual SESA Champs trip is about so much more than racing. Staying together at the Batemans Bay Marina Resort, sharing a team dinner at the Catalina Club, and celebrating each swimmer's commitment and achievements are all part of what makes this weekend so special. It's one we look forward to every year as we continue to build the culture that defines our club...
💙 Swim. Race. Belong. 💙

👏 A huge thank you to our Head Coach Greg "Egg" and KSC President Nathan "Hangers" for your organisation, encouragement and countless hours of work behind the scenes before and throughout the weekend. Your dedication to our swimmers and our club does not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do.
💙 We also want to recognise our incredible Kiama Swim Club Committee, parents, families and volunteers. The success of weekends like this doesn't happen by chance. From the countless hours spent planning behind the scenes, organising entries, accommodation and team logistics, to officiating, timekeeping, marshalling, volunteering, cheering poolside and supporting our swimmers every step of the way, your commitment is the backbone of our club. Thank you for the time, energy and passion you invest in Kiama Swim Club. Together, you create the supportive, family-focused culture that makes our club so special and truly embodies what it means to Swim. Race. Belong.
🏆 To top it all off, Kiama Swim Club finished 3rd overall out of 20 clubs represented across the championships! For a small club, this is an incredible achievement and a testament to the hard work, commitment and dedication of our swimmers, coaches, volunteers and families. We couldn't be prouder.
Congratulations Team Kiama! Bring on the next meet! 💙🤍💛
