Leading up to these school events the swimmers combine morning training and stroke correction sessions with participation in North West Area Carnivals to ensure they are in peak form.
Kimberley Gunther, David Hutton, Sarah Hutton and Lily Cooke swam at the Kootingal-Moonbi Swimming Carnival on Sunday February 1. This was a large carnival with 210 competitors. Lily, who is only seven years old, enjoyed her first big carnival and swam very well in her three 25m events as well as one 100m event.
Two weeks later these four swimmers were joined by Peter Marshall and Kyara McIntyre at the Tamworth City Carnival held on Sunday 15th February. 236 swimmers started the day at 8:30am swimming through till 5pm. All six Redfin swimmers recorded Personal Best times in most of their swims, so the training is showing through.
David took out 1st place in his 200m Freestyle event, while Peter came 1st in his 200m and 400m Freestyle events. Kimberley came home with a 1st in her 50m and 100m Butterfly events.
Kyara enjoyed her first big carnival and set some promising times in her three events-50m Freestyle 50m Breaststroke and 100m Breaststroke. Lily enjoyed her four events and then swam very well in her School Carnival the following day.
