Swim Carnival Results

SOSUNS recently held a regional swim carnival at Oakhill College.  The event was attended by over 100 athletes from ACT, Hunter, Sydney North, South, East and West and Central Coast.  The largest team on the day with 35 athletes was SOSUNS.

There were great achievements on the day with many PB’s and many smiles.   Athletes train weekly in the SOSUNS squad programs located at Abbotlsleigh School, Ryde Aquatic Centre and Oakhill College School.

The day ran smoothly thanks to the wonderful support of our many volunteers, in particular Oakhill College and their students, Otis and Ryde Eastwood Lions Club.  Thanks also to Russell Becker who is the driving force behind successful SOSUNS swimming carnivals.
