23.01.2022 Fancy a day trip to Yass on 6 December? A few spots left for Yass Swimming Club’s carnival.

23.01.2022 Congratulations to our young Vikings who have been selected to represent the ACT at the NSW Speedo Sprints Finals in Sydney on Saturday 29 Feb. HOT TIP for those who havent been to this event before - there is always a huge lineup in the morning to gain entry to the pool. There is no entry fee for competitors, they can walk straight through and meet up with the rest of the ACT team, but parents/supporters need to pay an entry fee. If you pre-purchase an entry ticket you can ...bypass the realllllly long queue of people who are paying at the door. Tickets can be pre-purchased online, and then you can just walk straight up to the table near the front entrance and show them your receipt details.

01.01.2022 What a year its been so far for Josh Alford! Our Australian Dolphin paralympian had a great meet last weekend at the Victorian Open Championships, which incorporated Round 1 of the World Para Series. Being an Olympic year, the field was full of stars. Josh had some wonderful swims, including a huge PB of 4.62 in the 400m freestyle, which was the fastest time in the final, but due to multi-class classification resulted in fourth place. He also took nearly a second off his 200m freestyle PB to swim the fastest time in the final, but classification again placed him fourth. He also had great swims in the 50m backstroke, 50m butterfly, 100m butterfly and 100m freestyle. Congratulations Josh! Congratulations also to fellow Canberrans Hayley Baker and Jacinta Essam (who is a former Viking) on their outstanding results at the meet.
