As the Term draws to a close and the weather begins to warm up, the activity at the pool is increasing. This Winter has been strong with mild weather seeing many continue lessons and benefit from the ongoing skill development.

The Swim Club has been active the last few months with both local, regional and state short course events taking place. The recent Queensland State Short Course titles saw 19 Somerset Swim Club members compete with 11 swimmers finishing in the top ten in their events. Of these swimmers, six of them finished with medals and three of the medallists were State Champions. The medallists were as follows:

Anarnya Berlowitz – Girls 18 years: 2nd 200m Metres Breaststroke

Olivia Collins – Girls 14 years: 1st 50 Metres Fly, 1st 100 Metres Fly
