The Club held its annual Presentation Night, combined with its Christmas Party, on Saturday 2 December 2023. We had a great turnout, with more than 120 people, at the Brimbank Aquatic and Leisure Centre.
Brimbank graciously assisted us with the venue for formal presentations, where we provided pizza and other catering to snack on while formal presentations were conducted. The day included a video presentation wrapping up last season (prepared by some of our amazing age swimmers), speeches by our President, Luka Zubcic, and Head Coach, Seb Bettiol, followed by awards conferred by our coaches, Seb, Marcus Grillo, Marcus Blake and Guy Gatt. We also had our raffle, coordinated by Heather and Belinda, which was a roaring success.
After the formalities, there was an intense session of waterslides! Followed by copious amounts of Zooper Doopers. To round off the day, many families enjoyed a dinner and relaxed together at the Keilor Hotel, coordinated by Tamie – a great way to wind down after the day with club friends.
