AQUATIC awesomeness was witnessed when six members of the Myall Masters Swim Club competed at the Port Macquarie Swim Meet on Saturday, 18 November. Members Leon Bobako, Christine Sefton and Sharon Taylor performed outstandingly, winning all four of their individual races, and ranked first in their age-groups, Wayne Bowers’ three wins included breaking the three-minute barrier in his 200m freestyle, and ranked him second in his age-group, while Club Captain Steve Rees swam consistently solidly across his events. “Christine was the fastest swimmer in the Club in three of her events, and Leon won the 200m breaststroke after a five-year hiatus,” Mr Rees told NOTA. “They ended up battling head-to-head in the 50m breaststroke.” “Alicia-Jane Laney, attending her first competition, delivered the most courageous swim of the meet on her leg of the hotly contested relay, helping set the team up for a narrow 4/100-of-a-second win!” Twenty other clubs joined the Myall Masters, ranging from the Mid-North Coast, Hunter, Central Coast, across Sydney, and the Illawarra. “Overall, in the total points-score, Myall Masters Club placed eighth out of 21 competing clubs, and the average points score for each swimmer placed Myall Masters a very creditable fourth at the meet,” Mr Rees added. “Myall Masters has many other enthusiastic and committed swimmers who are making great progress with their swimming this year and we are expecting some spectacular results in our Club Swim Meet which will be held at Tea Gardens Pool on 10 February, 2024.” Always looking for new members of all standards, the Club accepts swimmers eighteen-years plus who would like to improve their fitness and swimming ability while enjoying a great social atmosphere.
