2010-11 Carnivals

This season, NLASC has been participating in carnivals all over the peninsula and are really happy with our wee clubs achievements. We have it on high authority that we are also the noisiest club and they certainly know when our swimmers are in the water.

 

Jenny Oates Championship - 12^th Feb

Once again NLASC had a successful and fun event. Congratulations to Rebecca Bourcier and Geoff Newton both winning 15yrs and over age champions!!!!!! Thank you to all members who attended!

We were very proud because we are the smallest club to participate in these events and we always do well. There were 7 other clubs competing: Freshwater Asc, Warringah Aquatic Swim Club, Avalon Bilgola Asc, Terrey Hills Swim Club, Manly Jetz Swim Club, Manly SC, and Curl Curl Asc. We came 6^th overall.

Also thank you to Mal and Mike for volunteering as timekeepers and Alan who was the resident announcer for the evening (with some lovely assistance from Deb). We placed really well and had lots of 4th places however here are the medal winners:
