Head Swim Coach Greg Miller highlighted the dedication and hard work of the young athletes, stating:
“To achieve qualifying times for the Country Championships demonstrates achievement at the top levels of our sport.”
The squad includes swimmers aged nine to 15, made up of nine girls and three boys, including one multi-class swimmer. Their rigorous training schedule sees them in the pool at Kiama Leisure Centre most mornings at 5:15 am and again in the afternoons, covering between 3km and 5km per session - totaling up to 1,000km a year.
Miller emphasised the team's rapid improvement over the past 12 months, noting that momentum continues to build. He encourages other young swimmers to take on the challenge and see what they can achieve in the sport.
