Ava Makes a Splash at the West District Championships! 🏊‍♀️

Congratulations to Ava, who represented our local Stingray team at the West District Championships in the 11–12 age group for the 50 metre breaststroke. Impressively, Ava is only 10 years old, making her qualification for the older age category a fantastic achievement in itself.

Ava delivered a brilliant swim, beating her personal best by an impressive 0.45 seconds — proof that she really does swim like a speedy fish! 🐟

Across the weekend, our local Stingray swimmers showed tremendous determination, resilience and progression, stepping up to compete against some of the strongest young swimmers in the region. Ava had an especially exciting set of races and came incredibly close to qualifying for the finals in Aberdeen — missing out by just 0.03 seconds in one race and 0.44 seconds in another. Wow! What an achievement and what a great example of perseverance and effort.

We are very proud of Ava’s commitment to training and the positive attitude she brings to her sport. Well done, Ava!
