🏊 Thank You! 🏊

We would like to thank everyone who came along and supported our first Come & Try Club Night and Race the Clock last Friday night.

It was a fantastic evening filled with fun, excitement, and some awesome performances all round. Although the weather was on the cooler side, it was great to see such a strong turnout, with plenty of participation and lots of new, keen faces joining in.

A massive thank you also goes to Torrisi Welding & Fabrication for generously supplying us with a brand-new CNC fire pit, which kept everyone warm after competing. We really appreciate your support of our club and community.

If you'd like to get involved or keep up to date with our upcoming events, be sure to follow the Hinchinbrook Aquatics and Herbert River Swim Club pages.

Everyone is welcome, and we look forward to seeing you at our next event!
