Blue Swimmers over-70s win at carnival for third time

The Umina Blue Swimmers' winter swimming club's over-70s relay team has taken out the Northern Districts Winter Swimming Carnival event for the third time.

This annual Northern Districts Winter Championship is conducted between clubs from Umina to Port Macquarie, and has recently been held at Umina, Newcastle and Dixon Park.

The team of Bob Lee, Peter Morgan, Graham Tangye and Col Stanford has been successful at the 2015, 2016 and 2017 events.

With the Blue Swimmers celebrating their 50th year of winter swimming, it is looking forward to attempting to retain this title at the 2018 carnival being hosted by the Killcare club.
