Leadership 2023
Congratulations to Zachary Izzard (Captain) and Charlie Ashton (Vice-Captain) on their leadership appointments for the 2023 GPS Swimming season. Both boys have been long-time members of the Swim team, strong swimmers and stand-out leaders. I have no doubt that these young men will do a fine job of leading the Shore Swim team and will represent Shore well during the GPS Swimming season.
GPS Convenors Invitational 2022
On Friday evening, the Shore Swim team made their way out to Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre to compete in the GPS Convenors Invitational Meet. The meet is a non-point scoring event with a focus on a return to racing in the GPS setting.
With a depleted team due to injury and other commitments, the Shore boys did a fantastic job placing 2nd on the evening behind Newington College. As was the case in the 2022 GPS Season, Shore dominated in the relays, which is a great indicator of the depth of the team.
Standout performances include Archie Lawry and Ethan Ng who both won their age group skins events. Will Bestic and Jonty Jagger both had strong performances along with Sam Davis who placed 2nd in the Open 1500m Freestyle.
A very special mention to two senior Boarders, Zac Warden and Eoghan Killick who supported a depleted 17 year age group and allowed the boys to compete in the relays. These efforts are always appreciated by the Shore swimmers and coaches.
The Shore Swim team now look ahead to a solid training block in the lead-up to the 2023 GPS Swimming Season which kicks off in February. With the Shore Swim School now in full operation and running throughout the holidays, it is a great opportunity for the boys to prepare well for the season.
