Head Swimming Coach, Goulburn Aquatic and Leisure Centre, YMCA Joy Murdock said that it is quite likely that more of the Goulburn swimmers will meet the qualifying times and register for the NSW Country Championships and the NSW National Prep Meet before the cut offs.
“The swimmers have been training very hard and conscientiously and we are looking forward to seeing more personal successes and achievements in the club,” the head coach said. “Their last chance to qualify for the NSW Country Championships is this weekend at the ACT Championships.”
