25/26 Victorian State Championships Recap!
#swimming #swim #team
Congratulations to Daniele and Ella, our EDA Swimmers of the Meet at the Victorian Age Championships.
Daniele often concedes height and size to many of the boys in his age group, yet he consistently rises to the challenge and more than holds his own. He finished the meet with an outstanding 100% PB rate, an incredible achievement.
Ella, our Club Captain, continues to lead by example both in and out of the pool. After qualifying for the State Championships at the very last meet before cut off last year, she has now gone on to achieve an outstanding three State medals, a testament to her dedication and hard work.
Well done to both swimmers on a fantastic meet!
