Collingwood Swimming Club Results 2005

Spring Interclub
Congratulations to all our swimmers at this event. A great team effort and excellent results for Collingwood Swimming Club with two teams, Senior 1 and Junior 3, runners up and all other teams competing well.

A huge thank you to everyone involved; our coach and bus driver, Tony, our assistant coach, Joseph, our team co-ordinator, Jeff, all our team mangers, time keepers, parents and especially our swimmers.

Our swimmers not only performed well in the pool. Their behaviour during marshalling was excellent and they were full of support for each other. There was a great atmosphere within our team, which made the event a lot of fun. Having all swims in the same pool and the junior and senior teams sitting together helped strengthen the team spirit.

All results are available at www.swimmingvictoria.org.au.
