Nine swimmers from Ocean Shores Aquatics have qualified for individual swims at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre at Homebush, Sydney.
They will represent their various schools from late March through to early May, and be looking to see where their efforts will rank them among NSW finest.
Coach Adrian Filipic told The Echo he could not be more proud of all his 30-strong squad.
He said, ‘I always try to fabricate ways to bring the best out of them through challenges, encouragement, belief and praise’.
Last season
‘After 25 years as a coach, and 23 years of running a successful business with my wife Vanessa, we have seen some great results from both the teaching and performance coaching perspectives of swimming.
‘As It will be our last season, and as we say farewell, we wish to thank all the parents, Byron Pool staff and management for their ongoing support and for always providing a safe and fantastic facility over this time.
‘We are truly grateful for being embraced by a wonderful community, and have enjoyed our time enhancing the lives, and teaching life skills to so many’, added Adrian.
