IT was a sunshine and blue skies day on Sunday as a team of 11 Mansfield swimmers headed to Shepparton for their long course meet – our last official meet for 2024.

Well done to those who stepped up to add some new events to their schedule, challenging themselves and coming away with great results.

There was a sprinkling of personal best times amongst the mix, some new championship meet qualifying times, lots of medals, and a fun day had by all.

Congratulations to Coach Amelie Walker who won the girl's heat in the inaugural Meriam’s Memorial 50m butterfly race, swum in honour of a Shepparton club swimmer who passed away earlier in the year.

Congratulations to everyone who competed – now time to buckle down and train hard until we take our Christmas break.
