Woy Woy swim club competes

Woy Woy Swim Club has competed in the Coast and Valley Swimming Association's 2018 Summer Long Course Championships.

Peninsula Leisure Centre hosted the event which ran from November 30 to December 2.

Over 450 swimmers took to the pool to compete in the 142 events over the three day event.

Swimmers from Newcastle and The Hunter dominated in the pool, with Novocastrian Swim Club's Emily Jones the standout female competitor, setting seven individual records and taking out Female Swimmer of the Meet.

Woy Woy Swim Club's Cassandra Van Breugel placed second overall behind Jones in the female events.

The Hunter Swim Club's Charlie Hawke took out the Male Swimmer of the Meet.

Association publicity officer Ms Michele Burley-Jones said: "This meet qualified swimmers to enter the next levels of competition being either Country Regional Championships, Country Championships, State Age, State Open, National Age or National Open.

The Management Committee thanked the technical officials who gave up their time to work the championships which "were run extremely efficiently with limited resources", according to Ms Burley-Jones.

"Without these people the children and parents would not have the pleasure of competing at this level of their sport."
