🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏆 Ethan, Analiah & Janessa rocked the Apollo Projects Div II comp last week. 🌟 Despite being their first national event, Janessa and Ethan shone bright and learned tons while Analiah was a seasoned pro and was able to provide her team mates knowledge & support. And big kudos to Coach Pavel for joining the team in the fun relay on the last day! 🎉 Sportsmanship was top-notch throughout. Thank you PPK for your support, and to those that came to watch and cheer our swimmers on🙌

Final results as follows:

Analiah Palmer - 16 + (open) age group

Event. Place. Time improvement
200 free 4th -5.35sec
50 fly 10th. -0.05sec
100 fly 6th. -0.99sec
50 free. 11th. -0.05sec
100 free. 9th. -0.81sec

Great to see Analiah make the finals, her 200 free was an amazing swim to watch, also some fantastic results from her sprints.

Janessa Palmer - 14 year old age group

Event. Place.
50 free. 30th
200 free. 19th

This was possibly the most competitive age group, these girls were so fast! Janessa did a personal best time in the fun relay!

Ethan Doidge - 16+ (open) age group

Event. Place. Time improvement.
400 Free. 7th. -4.96sec
