🖤💛💙 **SOUTHLAND SHORT COURSE CHAMPS**

We saw an impressive display of racing by our Waverley team of 12 at the Southland Short Course Champs last weekend. The PB’s were coming thick and fast along with more NZ Short-course qualifying times.

Our relay teams were also out to impress with first place finishes for all three of our teams!

Congratulations to all of our swimmers and thanks once again to all of our parent helpers.

🖤💛💙 Things have been relatively quiet on the local scene, but that hasn’t stopped some of our swimmers heading up to Otago for some racing.

Lexi hit the South Otago Sharks meet at the end of July, with three podium finishes and a huge PB in her 200m Freestyle.

Bodie, Maddox and Elsie competed at the Otago Short Course Champs last weekend and certainly put a Waverley stamp on the results!

Great results for our swimmers heading into the Southland Short Course Champs this weekend 🤩

🖤💛💙**SOUTHLAND SWIM SERIES #3**

There was a lot at stake at the final meet of the Southland Swim Series, with cash prizes for the most points scored across the three events.

Our swimmers did not disappoint! With 58 individual entries for the Waverley team, we had 1st place finishes in 50% of the entries and 76% placings - pretty impressive for the end of the school holidays!

Huge congratulations to Ted, Eilidh and Bodie who all took out the top spot in their age group for the Swim Series points race and to Lucas, Xandri, Elsie and Maddox, who also scored cash prizes for finishing in the top three 💵 💵 💵

Thanks as always to our awesome crew of volunteers who helped on the day!
