Medals at country swim carnival

A team of 11 Woy Woy Swim Club swimmers attended the Country Championships carnival at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre on the weekend of July 9 and 10.

A number of them secured medals and personal bests.

One of Woy Woy Swim Club's newest young representatives Caleb Alipate secured a silver medal in the 50 metres butterfly in only his second carnival.

Caleb leads a group of promising young swimmers who are being developed through coaches Mr John Young and Ms Michelle Whytes in the Young Gun and Top Gun programs.

Other Top Gun swimmers who swam in the event included Jasmine Darwin, Olivia McParlane, William Knipe and Lachlan Braddish who swam in individual and relay events and broke their personal best times.

Lachlan Braddish, 9, stood out in the under-10s with a number of Top 10 finishes.

Ethan Dodds and Myles Bailey, both 11, swam in the 50 metre backstroke and won silver and bronze respectively.

Ethan also secured a bronze medal in the 100 metre backstroke and 12-year-old Rachel Wood placed second in the 50, 100 and 200 metre freestyle events and third in the 100 and 200 metre backstroke events.

Rachel also swam the 400 metre freestyle event and broke the12 year females country record time by eight seconds.

"All of Woy Woy's 11 swimmers swam outstanding times and many gained top 10 finishes," said club publicity officer Ms Sandra Wood.

The 11 swimmers will face their next big meet at the NSW State Championships next month.

Woy Woy Swim Club's representative swimmers will hold a fund raising barbecue and raffle outside of Woolworths in Umina on Saturday, July 30, to help raise funds for four of its Central Coast Academy Swimmers to participate in the academy program.

The program will take them on a team trip at the end of August to participate in the Victoria State Championships.
