In 2002, Nicole Irving a former member and student of the Glennie Swim Club, won Bronze in the 50m Butterfly at the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games. In that same year Ben Armbruster was born. Fast forward 24 years, Ben becomes the first former DDRSA via Stanthorpe Swimming Club representative to win a 🥉medal at the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games in Pb time.
We are beyond proud of Ben, and are equally as excited about the prospects in the 50m Butterfly.
Congratulations Ben, and his parents Scott and Shannon Swimshan Mrsa . A special mention to Ben's age group coach and pillar of support Gail Smail.
👏
