On Sunday, 13 July Wangaratta Amateur Swimming Club hosted their own Short Course swimming event, with over 150 swimmers from our region including Benalla, Wodonga, Shepparton and Albury.

The event also attracted swimmers from metro Melbourne.

Swim Club president Mel Jackson said it was an opportunity for swimmers to compete against their own personal best times and also to try for country, state and national times for other events.

"As a club we enjoy welcoming visitors to our clubs home pool and providing swimmers with the opportunity to swim in a supportive and fantastic environment," she said.

"Wangaratta Amateur Swim Club had 88 swims, with 42 personal best times (excellent considering a lot of swimmers competed two weeks earlier at another event), and seven new 2025 Victorian Short Course Country Swimming Championship Qualifying times.

"Swimming is an all year round sport which is enjoyed by many children and adults within the Wangaratta community.

"Wangaratta Amateur Swim Club is an inclusive club which encourages everyone to achieve their personal best in a team sport environment."

There is no rest for the Wangaratta Swim Club who this weekend will host the Ovens and Murray Swimming Association Short Course Championships at WASAC.

Competition starts at 9am on Sunday with free entry to spectators.

Events will feature the best in the region from under 9 level through to open.
