NUNAWADING NAMED AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION CLUB
Following the final night of competition at the Telstra Australian Swimming Championships in Sydney, Nunawading Swimming Club was named the 2009 Australian Champion Club and winner of the overall Club Pointscore at the Championships. This is a fantastic achievement by our Athletes, Coaches and Support Staff.
The trophy was presented to Club Captains Chelsea Carpenter and Shane Asbury following the final event of the Championships.
Following the announcement, Head Coach Amanda Isaac thanked everyone who has made this team unified and determined to achieve. Amanda congratulated the Board on their vision over recent years and thanked the members of the Swim Committee for all their hard work as well. The results throughout the week were outstanding with many swimmers really stepping up to another level.
This is the first time in the Club’s 49 year history that a Nunawading team has won the Australian Champion Club.

At the conclusion of the meet, it was announced that Club members Ashley Delaney, Sarah Katsoulis and Shayne Reese had been selected on the Australian Swim Team to compete at the World Championships in Rome in July 2009.
Ashley was selected for the 50m, 100m and 200m backstroke events.
