Pelicans win medals at masters championships

The Peninsula Leisure Centre hosted the NSW State Masters Swimming Championships on the weekend of October 13 and 14.

Over 200 Masters swimmers came from across NSW to compete, including the team from Ettalong Pelicans Masters Swimming Club.

Eight members of the Pelicans competed over the weekend with many of them medalling over the two days.

"This was the most successful carnival for the Pelicans in quite a long time," said club publicity officer Ms Marion Dreyer.

"We were able to enter in five relays, which is a big improvement on our past few championship appearances.

"Lauren Bradley swam in her first state championships and came home with an amazing two gold and three Silver medals from five swims.

"Darren Bennett was excited about winning his first Masters medal,

"Darren is also a member of Central Coast Special Olympics team and he competed in their state championships at Knox Grammar on October 6, and returned to the Peninsula with three medals," she said.

Another winner at the Peninsula Leisure Centre was Wendy Cook who won one gold and one silver.

"Gordon Ferguson secured two silver and two bronze medals, Johanna Kingma won one silver, Kevin Haskell put in a great effort in a competitive age group and I also brought home a bronze medal," said Ms Dreyer.

The Pelican's star performer was Mr Paul Lemmon who secured five gold medals.

Mr Lemmon was named the Swimmer of the Meet and also broke three national records during the event.

"Excitingly, the Pelicans won the Division 3 Pointscore Trophy too," Ms Dreyer said.

The Pelicans trains on Thursday nights at the Peninsula Leisure Centre and the club welcomes anyone from the ages of 18-90, for fun, fitness and friendship.
