Maccabi launches season in style, shows great results for race day

MACCABI NSW Swimming Club enjoyed a bumper turnout for its race day meet last Sunday at Moriah College’s indoor pool, ahead of the October 1 start of the summer competitive swimming season.

Almost 80 swimmers. dived into the lanes on the day, from seven-year-olds who were experiencing their first races, to experienced teens keen to put their off-season training efforts into practice, including junior 2022 Maccabiah Games medallist Cody Davis.

There were plenty of PB times, and impressive swimming performances, during the meet.

One of the biggest highlights was the number of young up-and-coming swimmers who recorded PBs and also qualified for future events.

Year 5 Moriah College student Awen Hiroti – who played in a Maccabi netball preliminary final the day before – was one of those, smashing her previous best time in the 50m breaststroke, qualifying for November’s Junior Metropolitan Championships.

The club’s new president, Elan Miller, was very happy with the event’s smooth running and huge turnout.
