A group of seven athletes from the Ocean Shores Aquatics swim team took part in the annual Country Regional Swim Meeet held at Alstonville over January 22 and 23.
The invite-only event, based on qualifying times, attracted swimmers from Forster to the Tweed border.
‘They all excelled in one way or another, whether it was challenging themselves to race a bit more distance, try out different techniques, or simply just have a go and exercise their belief,’ coach Adrian Filipic said.
‘All results were well deserved’.
