Open water swimming season has officially kicked off in Darwin, and Immanuel was proudly represented by two of our athletes.

🏅 NT Open Water State Championships
Both Callum and Sam lined up for the 5km NT Open Water State Championships, heldy alongside the Australian Open Water Series — a major event that attracts elite competitors from across the country.

Our swimmers took on some of the strongest open water athletes in Australia, gaining invaluable experience and showcasing Immanuel’s commitment to long‑distance racing and resilience.

With their first open water 5km swim both Callum and Sam the youngest competitors did Immanuel proud. Lots of learning and plenty to build on for the next race.
