HI EVERYONE!The countdown to the QLD Championships has begun!

Although we are already looking

forward to the Queensland State

Championships in December, this

month was still intense and full of

excitements for the Mighty Makos.

A small team competed at the

Noosa Eyeline 1000 Ocean Swim

while the junior swimmers swam at

the Cooroy Twilight Meet, both

teams enjoyed great success.

Following the QLD Long CourseQualifying Meet#2, the Nudgee

Brothers A Grade meet was the

last opportunity for our swimmers to

gain qualifying times or better

current personal best times for the

State Titles.

The club continued its successful

fundraising activities, including a

senior member jumping off an

aeroplane and families putting

together a raffle prize for the

Christmas club Fun Night.

Well done to all who competed at the Cooroy Twilight meet. It was an excellent meet to give our young and

budding swimmers more exposure to the competition environment. The Makos swam very well, achieving

plenty of personal best times and collecting 3 gold, 5 silver and 6 bronze medals. Special mention should go

to Sarah Wallace. This was Sarah's first carnival ever, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

Congratulations should also go to Cerissa Boddington, Callie Brutnell, Dayzee Firth, Alice Hermans, Maia

Liow, Alanah Pace, Sasha Pace and Phoebe Shapland, you all did very well and the club is very proud of you!

Thank you to all the parents who helped and a

of the day. Thank you should also go to the

Brutnell and Wallace families for the great

photos.

Great work everyone, congratulations again!Results and photos are available on the website.
