Competing in the Ovens and Murray District, swimmers have been travelling to a variety of meets the past month, proudly representing the club at both district pennant events and open competitions.
Competing at recent events in Wangaratta, Wodonga and Albury, the club’s swimmers have shown commitment and enthusiasm early in the season and have embraced the challenge at every meet.
Their hard work at training across the winter season is already paying off, and it’s exciting to see so many early improvements and personal bests.
The club is confident momentum will continue to build as the season progresses.
The Yarrawonga Mulwala Swimming Club will continue their competition schedule in the coming weeks, and next head to Shepparton, with more opportunities for swimmers to continue to test themselves against top regional talent.

With the possibility of qualifying times up for grabs as entry to upcoming State meets, the swimmers continue to train hard, showing their commitment both in the pool, along with additional dryland training.
The club looks forward to the start of the Summer season in Yarrawonga, and the return of the rest of the team once the Yarrawonga outdoor pool opens.
