The club would like to thank all volunteers, swimmers and spectators who attended the GCO LC Meet. It may not have been the best conditions for swimming but everyone put in a "gutsy" effort. We trust everyone enjoyed the meet and we look forward to seeing everyone return next year.
The club would also like to thank all sponsors of the meet, in particular the City of Ballarat. The club also acknowledges and is most grateful for the support and efforts of the City and the YMCA in getting the venue ready for the meet.
