πŸŒŠπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ **Busy Weekend for Busselton Masters Swimmers!** πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŒŠ

This weekend was jam-packed for the Busselton Masters swimmers! Thanks to the generous sponsorship from Healthways and Busselton Water, we had an amazing stroke clinic led by Andrew Sexton. On Sunday morning, 8 dedicated masters swimmers had their strokes assessed by video, followed by an intensive follow-up session focused on improving our technique.

Huge thanks to Andrew Sexton for his expertise and to everyone who participated. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn and improve our swimming skills. Looking forward to seeing everyone apply these new techniques in the water! πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ

πŸŒŠπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ What an exhilarating day at the Busselton Masters! Today, we tackled the wild water conditions at Yallingup Lagoon. It’s not often we see waves rolling through the lagoon, but we embraced the challenge and had an absolute blast. The water was warm, and with the temperature at 19Β°C, it was perfect for our adventure. Everyone was smiling and enjoying the unique experience. Lots of fun and fantastic memories! 🌞
A big thank you to Maureen and Colin for the lovely morning tea afterwards. It was the perfect way to wrap up our exciting morning! πŸ°β˜•

Kicking off with a splash, 9 swimmers powered through a solid 2km set at the Bunbury 50m pool, gearing up for the ultimate showdown: Pins & Pizza! Coach Steve made sure our shoulders were warmed up - can't risk any pizza-eating injuries, right? β˜•οΈ

Then it was time to hit the lanes, with 30 eager participants battling it out for bowling glory. From strikes to gutter balls, the skill levels were off the charts! 🎳 And let's not forget the well-deserved pit stop for a caffeine boost!

After all that action, it was pizza time at Last Slice Pizza in Dayellup. πŸ• And boy, did we devour those slices like champions! πŸ†

Big shoutout to our winners:
πŸ… Mike and Sue for snagging the titles of Male and Female Highest Score!
