IT WAS a great start to the new year for a few members of Northam Swimming Club who went down to HBF Stadium to compete in the Country Championships.
It is an excellent achievement to just be able to qualify to attend this event and swim against some of the states top swimmers.
The five swimmers who attended the meet (Tyrone Crees, Jeklyn Wallis, Isabella Crees, Romeo Wallis & Azariah Wallis) came away with 13 personal best times out of a total of 16 events.
Well done to Tyrone who also received a silver medal in backstroke, an excellent achievement at a state level competition.
March is set to be huge with the upcoming Country Pennants in Exmouth.
Good luck to all.
