Noosa mastery in swimming

This was a much smaller team compared with Noosa Masters’ usual contingency but, never the less, provided some outstanding results.

Jo Matthews almost pulling off a clean sweep winning 6 of her 7 events in her age group. Jo is our very own Madame Butterfly, taking out the 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m Butterfly 400m IM 400m Backstroke and 2nd in the 200m IM. What an amazing swimmer.

Robert Pugh set a blistering pace in all his events in a supercompetitive field in his age group. Taking 1st place and a massive PB in the 50m Breaststroke in 32.71 seconds and a 2nd place in the 100m Breaststroke while clocking a sub 60 second 100m freestyle to take out 3rd place.

Anne Besser proved that she is the perennial stayer in her age group with a 1st place in the 400m Backstroke along with two 2nd places a 3rd place
