Traralgon Swimming Club
Mr NORTHE (Morwell) (12:58): I rise today to pass on my congratulations and best wishes to a number of local swimmers who are heading to Adelaide to compete in the 2022 Australian Age Swimming Championships that commence on 11 April. There are 12 swimmers from the Traralgon Swimming Club who will be partaking, including Kayla Wilson and Lockie Bellion, who are participating in a number of multiclass events, with Kayla entered in a staggering 11 events and Lockie competing in eight races. In addition Jordyn Cargill, Molly Cargill, Ashley Nicholes, Kayla Pratt, Josh Dwyer, Joel Baillie, Olivia Baillie, Eliza Watts, Abby Warner, Emily Auteri and Will Pendergast will all be doing our community proud at this prestigious event. These swimmers have worked so hard under the tutelage of legendary senior head coach Brian Ford, ably supported by Dean Gooch, Cameron Juha, Renee Cargill, Sam Fenton and their coaching team, who have done an incredible job in helping these young people achieve their very best. The Traralgon Swimming Club motto is ‘Strong bodies, strong minds, one team’. I know all representatives of the club will uphold these apt values as they always do.
