Nepean Aquatic Centre Swim Club were proud to partner with Penrith Marine and Mercury to bring our annual Open Water Series to the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Penrith recently.
The day went off without a hitch, with 338 swimmers attending our event and participating in a number of races from 1km, to 2.5km to 5km swims.
A number of swimmers competing achieved State Qualifying Times and National Qualifying Times at our event – congratulations to those who did!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank a number of people who made the day possible.
Special thanks to our major sponsors Penrith Marine and Mercury for coming on board again to make this event happen.
Thank you to our other sponsors including Dukes Estate Agents, Nepean Aquatic Centre and Vorgee for your contributions ensuring our prize winners walked away with some fantastic prizes, and every participant was given a colourful cap.
We also wish to thank our volunteers who took on duties required to make this event come to life. Thank you to Penrith SES for being on the water keeping a close eye on athletes whilst competing and for the loan of additional boats. Thank you to our volunteers both from our club and other clubs who were out on the water in kayaks and boats also keeping a close eye on all of our entrants.
Thank you to the Technical Officials who all volunteered to ensure the times achieved by all were official, and thank you to the parents and children from Team NAC for being on the ground to help with late entries, stamping, waiver forms, award presentations, first aid, water supply and more.
There were many people who pitched in to make sure the day went smoothly and we have been very pleased with the result! We hope that all who attended had a great day and we wish those going onto Metro South West Open Water this weekend and State and Nationals all the best!
