Congratulations to Somerset Swimmers on a fantastic meet and some impressive results. A special mention goes to Lachlan Kerry and Cameron Donovan who showed great team spirit over the weekend helping team mates when needed. A big thank you also goes to Coach Cheryl for coaching and supporting our swimmers over the course of the weekends racing.
The next few weeks are busy with swimming over a number of areas. The Somerset Swim Club is sending seven athletes to the Commonwealth Games Trials at Southport from 28 February to 3 March. These will be James Roberts, Ben Treffers, Yolane Kukla, CJ Licuanan, Luke Percy, Blake Jones, and Andrew Digby with Coach Ash leading the swimmers and Coach Cheryl assisting. We wish the swimmers the best of luck for the selection trials and will be watching on TV. There are tickets available for families to go along and see the event live as well. In addition to this, next week is South Coast selection trials at Miami Pool on Monday. The College has quite a few swimmers attending to gain selection on the South Coast Team to attend the State Championships in March. Good luck to these swimmers.
Happy Swimming!
