2017 Victorian Country Short Course Championships
19th – 20th August @ Wangaratta
Wangaratta was an exciting place to be over the weekend for our SGB swimmers. It was a great club environment to be in, led by our 18 swimmers in what was an all-round effort across the 2 days of racing. It was this environment and energy created by our swimmers that transferred into great results in the pool, bringing the club to a 6th place overall finish, our best result at a Victorian Country Championship.
