Revesby Workers Swim Club
As we dive into the Winter Short Course competition for Revesby Workers Swim Club and before highlighting our incredible results so far, I’d like to thank Jane Davis and Gail Cauchi (Swimming Club Life Member) for their hard work and dedication as they stepped down from the committee at our Annual General Meeting in May 2024. A big thank you also goes to our 13 committee members who have taken on roles within the swim club.
In May, the club participated in the Metropolitan Southwest Carnival with 76 competitors over the two-day event. We saw many personal bests, amazing results, and plenty of smiles. Special congratulations to Joash Dante for breaking the 50-meter freestyle record and Blake Waugh for setting a new 50-metre backstroke record.
A huge congratulations to Abbey Connor for her outstanding achievement at the recent Australian Olympic Swimming Trials, where she placed second in the 200m butterfly. Abbey began her swimming journey with Revesby Workers Swim Club under head coach Alex Clarke.
Finishing fourth at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 at just 17 years of age. Now swimming with the USC Spartans in Queensland, we wish Abbey all the best of luck at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Congratulate the following swimmers for qualifying for the NSW squads from their National performances in April:
- NSW Open Water Squad: Nicholas Macher
- NSW Sharks Squad: Jiazi Chen, Lola Pittams, Marli Broughton, Samuel Skrabak, Jacob Whitton.
Finally, good luck to all our swimmers competing at the Metropolitan competition in July and State Championships in August/September.
