Welcome to December

We have already seen 8 weeks of club races and some fantastic results have been achieved by our swimmers, keep up the great work. Thank you to our Club Coaches who do a superb job encouraging and teaching swimmers of all ages and abilities.

Whales Challenge - Today

Congratulations to the White “Emery” team who were successful over the Maroon “Turner” team in the first of the seasons Whales Challenges. Final point score was White 1,955 and Maroon 1,784. The next Whales Challenge is on 19th January 2019, when Maroon will get the chance to even the score.

Parramatta Inter-Club Cup – Saturday 24th November, 2018

This year’s Parramatta Inter-Club Cup was held at Granville Pool last Saturday afternoon. A great effort by our team saw us fall agonisingly short of winning the cup for the 3rd time, with Parramatta City scoring 16 more points than Merrylands.

It was fantastic to see the amazing teamwork on display and support across the team for all of our swimmers. Thank you to all our swimmers, parents who assisted with timekeeping, team managers, coaches and competition committee for all your hard work in making the meet a great success.
