#swimming #swim #team #squad #training #pool #camp #workhard #playhard

Today, six of our National Swimmers participated in the Metro West National Swimmer Development Day, led by former Australian Team Coach Leigh Nugent. The day featured a swimmer and coach forum, followed by an in-pool session focused on freestyle and backstroke technique.
It was an incredibly valuable experience for both our swimmers and the five EDA coaches who attended.

After nine days of racing, we finally hit the last day with both Megan and Hunter hitting the pool. Megan was up first for her sixth event of the championships, putting in a solid swim in the 200m IM to finish 23rd.
Then, after waiting until Day 9 for his one and only event, Hunter put together a great swim - winning his heat and setting a new PB in the 100m Butterfly, breaking the 58-second barrier for the first time!

Day 6 Highlights:
Eve was back in action in the 200m Breaststroke, her final event of the championships.
Despite all the preparation and effort, sometimes race day doesn’t go as planned - and today was one of those days. It was a tough outcome, especially given how hard she’s worked. But this result won’t define her. Eve will come back stronger, more determined, and ready for the next challenge.

Day 5 Highlights:
We had an action filled day with 5 of our 7 swimmers in the pool. First, Jimmy took on the 100m Breaststroke. Despite getting sick at the start of the meet, he did a great job focusing on his race process rather than the result. We’re confident Jimmy will come back even stronger next year!
Next, Megan competed in the 100m Butterfly, delivering another strong performance and finishing in 29th place.
To wrap up the day, Eve, Indy, and Josh all raced in the 50m events.
Eve - 24th
Indy - 40th
Josh - 28th
