Open Long Course Championships

Well done to all who competed in the Victorian Open LC Championships. 🏊

Propulsion swimmers were able to put down some fast times as we hit the first major meet of 2025, and manage some A finals (and even medals) amongst sizzling interstate and international competition. 💪

Shoutout also to Hamish Keenan, who competed in his first ever World Para Series meet (which ran alongside the Vic Open Champs). Hammer managed to snag a 🥇 as part of the 34 point 4x100 free relay, and 🥉🥉in the youth finals for the 100 breast and 50 free. Hamish also had the honour of being chosen to recite the athlete oath at the start of the meet. 👏👏

Thank you to everyone who competed and came down to support 💚🖤
