Millie Lyne and her coaches, Kim and Mick McConnachie, travelled to the Gold Coast earlier in the month to compete at the Australian Age Swimming Championships on the Gold Coast and represent the Burdekin Torpedoes at a National level. The experience for Millie was amazing and she would not have reached it without the support of her wonderful coaches and the Burdekin Swimming Club being 100% behind her. Millie raced in the 14yo Girls 50m Breaststroke and put in a fantastic swim to just go above her personal best time and place 50th in the Nation from 81 swimmers who made the qualifying time.
On pool deck was former Burdekin Torpedo Seamus Casey who had a jampacked week of seven swims and he came away with a silver medal in the Boys 14-15yo 4 x 50m Freestyle relay for St Peters Western.
