Warragul twilight meet

Smiles were plentiful in the pool at Warragul as the SGB swimmers raced in one of the last local swim meets of the season.

For the younger swimmers, they could see their progression over the last few months, and they were proud of their new times.

For many of the more experienced swimmers, it was a chance to try and get one more qualifying time and swim for the Victorian Country Short Course Championships and Victorian State Short Course

Championships coming up in August and you could tell by the excited cheers when a time was achieved.

For some, they achieved their first ever country time, which is an exciting event.

For older swimmers, some were trying to get the few milliseconds off to qualify them for these prestigious events.

SGB is sending one of their largest teams ever to the championships.

It is a team effort to get the swimmers to the championships, with fellow teammates cheering them on, pushing them to swim their best in races and keeping them relaxed in-between.

It was also a chance for the under eights, who take part in the development squad, to try their hand at racing, able to compete in 25m races to get used to starting and racing.
