LEONGATHA Splash was busy on Sunday as the South Gippsland Bass Swim Club hosted GSI 3. The 130 swimmers from throughout Gippsland raced in a series of 50 and 100 metre races.
There were also a handful of under-eights having their first racing experience, competing in the 25 metre length. The centre was full of extended families making the most of being able to come and watch their nieces and nephews or grandchildren compete.
The event was the first home meet for the summer 25/26 season, with head coach Dylan announcing the
captains for the year ahead. The captains were chosen not just for being great swimmers, but as the role models they are for the younger swimmers.
The head captains for 25/26 are Lara Smyth, Asha Chalmers and Billy Fisher. The vice captains are Mostyn Lumsden and Hugh Munro.
The swimmers were well fuelled up for the meet, after having a day with nutritionist Ali Miles, a founder of the Fuel School who specialises in helping athletes with their dietary needs, including ensuring they have enough food and how to help improve performance with their food intake.
