The swimmers all did a great job and lots of PBs were achieved. Finals are on today and it looks like Piper has just kick started the finals with a gold medal in 50m fly. Well done Piper and good luck to all dragons competing in finals today! Races can be watched online: https://swimtv.com.au/

09.01.2022 VICTORIAN COUNTRY CLUBS DRY-LAND CHALLENGE The 2021 Mildura Victorian Country Organising Committee is starting a competition with all Victorian... Country clubs! We would love to see clubs get behind this!! The club with the most amount of combined minutes of physical activity, up until when pool facilities open back up, will receive a prize (yet to be determined) at the 2021 Victorian Country LC Swimming Championships Opening Ceremony in Mildura. We ask that all swimmers record the amount of minutes they exercise for and what exercise they did. Log your physical activity here - https://forms.gle/Retw8AnJXsKo3uBi6 Mildura Swimming Club have some resources here - http://www.milduraswimmingclub.com/dryland-resources.html We thought that since everyone is going through the same thing at the moment, it would be great to help build our swimming community and have some fun while doing it. We are all in this together!! Be sure to send some videos or photos through and we will upload them to our facebook page. Thanks, Josh Barila 2021 Victorian Country LC Swimming Championships Co-ordinatior.

07.01.2022 22/02/20 - 2021 Vic Country’s Update Hi all, The team up in Mildura have been very busy preparing for countries next year over the past few weeks.... We have heard you’re feedback regarding scoreboard and touchpads. We are currently in talks with the relevant people to try make this happen. Fingers crossed all goes well and we can make it happen!! No doubt it will be very warm up here next year so we will be organising a mist tent, also a ‘Cool Room’ with industrial A/C. We will also have A/C in the marshalling room. We will look into getting some type of portable change rooms, eg. camping pop up tents. Grandstands are currently in the process of getting booked in. One of our Mildura Swimming Club members is currently in the process of producing a logo for the competition. This will be completed in the coming weeks. The Mildura Rural City Council grant rounds have just opened, so we will now be applying for grants to help with the costs of running the competition and gaining new infrastructure. If there is any other feedback on what you’d like to see in Mildura next year, please let us know!! We would love to hear from officials on some suggestions with the officials packs and catering or any peice of info you’d like to suggest on how we can make it easier for you. If you have any questions regarding 2021 VIC Countries please let me know by either messaging this page or email - [email protected] Cheers, Josh Barila 2021 Victorian Country LC Championships Event Coordinator

04.01.2022 In light of the Federal Government's announcement earlier today recommending against the holding of non-essential mass gatherings of more than 500 people, Swimm...ing Victoria has considered the implications of this on our upcoming events, in particular; Country and Metro All Junior Competitions and Country Interdistrict scheduled for later this month. Read the full statement below.

02.01.2022 After meetings with the Baw Baw Shire, WGL Swimming Club, the Warragul YMCA and members of Gippsland Swimming, it has been decided that the planned January 9 sw...im meet will not proceed. We sincerely apologise to swimmers and families for this unfortunate outcome. It was generally agreed that there was unacceptable risk in gathering at this time. We look forward with hope to hosting the Country Championships at the end of the month. See more
