🌟 GOLDEN GROPER STATE RELAY COMP 🌟

Congratulations and thank you to the 11 Rocky Rays who entered the Golden Groper State Relay Comp yesterday up at HPC.

We were so proud to see such fantastic team spirit, supporting each other and representing our club so brilliantly both in and out of the pool.

We placed 11th in the State which is great considering the smaller numbers we had this year.

Big shoutout to our newest Ray Adelaide who only joined 2 weeks ago and stepped up and entered. She was an absolute rocket in the pool swimming 27 seconds for her 50m free - AMAZING!!!!!

Congratulations to all our swimmers, it was a fabulous day out! And thank you to our friends at Claremont Masters Swimming Club Page for hosting the best event on the swim calendar!

And yes - Prez Michael won a raffle prize 🤣

Proud to be a Rocky Ray! 💙🩵
