🎉 EXCITING NEWS FOR THE SEYMOUR SHARKS! 🦈🏊‍♂️

We are thrilled to acknowledge the generous support of Inland Rail through their grant program, which provided Seymour Sharks Swimming Club with $4,000 in funding! 🙌

The funding has gone towards the purchase of a timing system for our club, providing our coaches and swimmers with valuable tools to accurately track performance, monitor progress and support swimmer development.

This is a fantastic investment in the future of our club and will be a valuable resource for our swimmers and coaching team for years to come.

We are incredibly grateful to Inland Rail for recognising and supporting our project. Community support like this makes a real difference to local sporting clubs and helps us continue to provide opportunities for our swimmers to grow, develop and achieve their goals. 💙

A huge THANK YOU to Inland Rail for your generosity and support of the Seymour Sharks Swimming Club! 🦈💙
