The Wagga Wagga meet was held at the Oasis Aquatic Centre and there was even a surprise visit from former swimming great Geoff ‘Skippy’ Huegill, who jumped in for a ‘dip’.

Jake Cooper (eight events) Thorfinn Gilbert (three events), Duke Shepherd (six events) and Lachlan Gilbert (seven events) all received good times in the breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle and individual medley events.
