The team of 11 Narooma swimmers swam many personal bests collecting medals and awards for their efforts and all making valuable contributions to the team effort for the weekend.
Josh Ryan and Milaina Café competing in the Area Championships for the first time put in great efforts and gained valuable experience. Both achieved multiple personal bests in their swims and had outstanding performances among strong competition.
Aiden and Riley Miles put in a huge effort all weekend improving their times with PB's in all but a few of their individual events.
Michala Pendergast and sisters Ivy, Ruby and Sophie O'Meara all swam strongly for the weekend picking up placing's and PB's throughout their events showing us all how much they have improved.
As always Tracy King set a great example for all the children to follow and also had multiple placing's.
Banjo King collected gold medals in the 100m backstroke, 50 and 100 butterfly and the 100m freestyle. Banjo set new SESA championship records in his 50 and 100m butterfly events and on top of this he also won the 10 Year Boys SESA area champion.
