This sensational swim gave Brett the gold medal and Australian 14yrs title. In actual fact Brett would have also won a medal in the 15 year old age group. Well done Brett. We are all very proud of your achievement and know this is a reflection of your dedication and hard work.
Lawley Aquatic finish 3rd
What an amazing club day. With so many members there to represent the club it was a great atmosphere. The support shown by all is a credit to all of the swimmers. Many members that were named as reserves supported the club and team mates. This is what breeds real champions. Filling every race and swimmers representing the club out of their age group proved the talent of our club. It must also be noted that the first two clubs were a combination of clubs for the premiership, so in fact Lawley Aquatic was the first full representative club in the C Division. Well done swimmers!
The countdown has begun
With only 8 weeks until the C Division swimmers and families need to start thinking about their blue gear. Lawley came a creditable close 4th in 2011 and the target is to better this in 2012.
Bunnings Balcatta was sizzling
In the heat of the day several Lawley families spent some of their spare time on Sunday 4th December serving the customers at Bunnings with the Lawley Aquatic Sausage Sizzle. Many were families that had spent the marathon day at Challenge the day before. It was another true club spirit day with help coming from everywhere. Lawley managed another successful fundraising activity with financial support for the club to continue to provide for functions, relays and special events. It was a proud day to be a Lawley member.A marathon day for many Lawley members at the Dorsogna meet
