Age Group Swimming Meeting is Popular
More than 250 children competed in the annual junior age group swimming championships this year.
Entries were from as far away as Collingwood and strong support for the meeting came from Murchison.
A major contributory factor in the popularity of the event is that it gives the average swimmer a chance to make the limelight. Centre title holders are not allowed to compete.
