After a long, tough day the twenty intrepid swimmers from the Launceston Club can hold their heads high, bagging a total of nine top three place medals. From the heats our swimmers fought their way through to 28 finals, achieving an incredible 42 personal best times (PBs) in the process. Competition was fierce and all swam well but star of the show was Jessica (JJ) Young, who won three gold and one silver medals for her age group, annihilating the field in the finals of the 50m freestyle and butterfly.
Dedicated coach John Rhodes can justifiably be proud of his squad with Launceston being placed 3rd out of the 18 clubs competing. Special thanks go to Sue Glossop and Wendy Rivers who managed the team admirably on poolside through the many hours of competition. Also thanks to 'Dishy' Dave Darbourne for his support and encouragement.
