The Burdekin Torpedoes hit the pool for the last time this season on ANZAC Day with the club championships being held at the Burdekin Aquatic Centre. It was a celebration of some great swimming over the season and on the day; with Age champions being awarded and some prestigious Club Awards.
The pool was pumping with some dance tunes and with Mick McConnachie showing the younger generations some groovin' dance moves on pool deck the stage was set for some fast, fun swimming.
Club Records were also up for the swimmers to beat and on the day, two were broken by Millie Lyne in the 14yo Girls 50m & 100m Breaststroke. Breaking the 50m record set back in 2016 by 4.9s and breaking the 100m record set back in 1982 by 3.9s.
Club president Ned Bonato and Vice president Gavin Wight presented the swimmers with their awards and thanked the families and swimmers for a fantastic season and are looking forward to the upcoming season after a well-earned winter break.
