KPSC Invitational Sunday 13 August
The KPSC Invitational meet was held at Pymble Ladies’ College on Sunday 13 August. Over 300 swimmers attended from our local swimming areas, with KPSC swimmers making up a third of the entries. Pymble had 28 girls compete including two Alumni.
This was the last chance swim meet to qualify for State Championships and Open Nationals coming up in September. Plenty of personal bests and state times were achieved. The swimmers gave their best, continued to learn from their race experiences and plenty of fun was had by all.
A big shout out to all the parents/carers for all their hard work on making it a successful meet and to Duccio and his team for setting up and making the meet run smoothly. We are so fortunate to have such a great support team to run our meets and an amazing facility for our swim meets to be held in.
Well done to all Coaches, Leanne Speechley, Rafael Rodrigues, Sara Petronzio, Michelle Thomas for all your hard work, dedication, and motivation in preparing the swimmers to achieve their goals.
