Huge Well Done to our Swimmers!
After many years of not having a swimming team, we are back and competing. Sunday was a great day up in Fielding taking out a few 1st's, 2nd's & 3rds in the individual events and smashing out a first in a relay race we only entered on the day. Massive thank you to our amazing Coach Clare. Our swim team have come a really long way in such a short time.
