The completion of the State Short Course Championships ended with the 13-18 year age group competing on September 13 and 14 at the Adelaide Aquatic Centre.

A small group of swimmers, Taylor Simpson, Fraser Simpson, Danielle Edwards and Lauren Mathews represented Whyalla Swim Club competing in their various age groups.

It was another weekend of exceptional swimming with all swimmers competing to the best of their ability.

Taylor Simpson improved times and obtained personal best's (PB's) in most of his swims and was a finalist in his 200 metre breast stroke event.

Fraser Simpson also achieved a PB with most of his swims and was a finalist in all his breast stroke events.

Danielle Edwards achieved PB's in most of her swims and was a finalist in all her backstroke events.

Lauren Mathews swam well coming home with two gold, three silver and two bronze medals; a total of seven medals in nine swims and coming a close fourth in two other swims.

With the winter season now over and summer season starting the Whyalla Swim Club has started their time trials.

The club invites all new swimmers to participate in the time trials that are the first step to competing.
