Junior Metro Championships
On Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 November we had 15 Pymble swimmers representing Knox Pymble Swim Club (KPSC) at the NSW Junior Metropolitan Swimming Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic centre.
It was two big days of racing. The young ladies were amazing with many outstanding swims. The team spirit and the way the swimmers executed their races was a testament to their training and certainly made the coaches proud.
We had two medallists:

- Gold Girls 11years 100m Butterfly
- Gold Girls 11years 50m Butterfly
- Bronze Girls 11years 100m Freestyle
Charlotte Sadler (Year 5)
- Bronze Girls 11years 50m Breaststroke
- 5th in the 100m Breaststroke
There were seven Pymble swimmers who scored points for KPSC with 22 top ten placings between them.

2022 Pymble Christmas Mini Meet
The vibe around Christmas is very different from any other time of year. There is just something about Christmas that makes us look forward to the month of December.
Here at Pymble it is no different. Yesterday afternoon we ran our annual Xmas Mini Meet to celebrate Christmas and the end of another great year.
The Xmas Mini Meet was a huge success with over 140 swimmers participating from Tiger sharks, Mini squad, Star squad and Cadet squad. Pride and Engine squads did an awesome job in running and getting involved in the Race League, keeping the spirits high and making all the first timers feel at ease.
There was a visit from Santa which sent the swimmers into a frenzy as Santa had lollies for everyone – who doesn’t love Santa! A barbecue was run extremely well by our senior swimmers, with everyone receiving a sausage sizzle. It was a fantastic afternoon with so much excitement, fun and Christmas cheer.
