TWENTY-TWO Noosa Masters Swim Club members kicked off 2015 in style on Sunday 18 January, travelling to the Sommerville House school pool on Brisbane’s Southbank, where Riverside City Masters’ Swim Club hosted their annual swim meet.
Noosa repeated their success of 2013, coming away from the meeting as the club to achieve the highest aggregate points from all their swimmers.
Newcomer, Trish Hughes, a graduate from the 2014 ‘Come and Try’ program, snared a medal in her first inter-club competition. State records also went to Ian Robinson in the 100 metres breast stroke (50-54 years) and Jan Croft in the 25 metres butterfly (70-74 years).
“(It was) a great start to 2015, with several of our members preparing for state championships in Townsville this March and the Australian championships being hosted by Hobart in April.” Club President Ian Tucker commented.
Those Noosa swimmers who attended Riverside included: Dyanna Benny, Julia Dunstall, Joe Gilbert, Anne Gripper, Bardie Gruber, Wendy Ivanusec, Rob Jolly, Geoff Lander, Mary Lester, Helen Malar, Olga McCausland, Bob McCausland, Terry Mortimer, Ian Robinson, Robyn Selby, Adele Tucker, Ian Tucker and Bruce Warren.
