GYMPIE GOLD FINS SEASON 2008-<strong>2009</strong><br />
2008 – <strong>2009</strong> Season produced some excellent results for our club.<br />
Club membership is up from the 2007 - 2008 season with 60 competitive swimmers and 61 recreational<br />
swimmers, making a total of 121 members for 2008-<strong>2009</strong><br />
With the excellent increase in new swimmers, also brings in a number of new parents, who we as a club, are<br />
actively pursuing for roles and or positions in the club.<br />
These positions are at committee and club night level. We all know that for a club to be strong and<br />
competitive it must have a solid foundation and that is what we are hopefully going to achieve in the <strong>2009</strong> –<br />
2010 season.<br />
This season has produced some great results for our club. Our only carnival the “Gympie Gold<br />
Rush Sprint Meet” was a huge success both in an increased number of swimmers and financially successful as<br />
well.<br />
Some of these results are listed below.<br />
• David Lee – multiple finalist at Telstra Australian Championships. Selected in the Australian team for<br />
the Global Games in Czech Republic in July <strong>2009</strong>. David was also a medallist at Qld State Age &<br />
Open Championships & State Sprints.<br />

State Age & Open & State Sprints<br />

• 13 Swimmers nominated for <strong>Wide</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> Championships with 6 medallists and multiple finalists<br />
• Irene Armstrong –<strong>Wide</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Swimming</strong> Volunteer of the year<br />

Gympie Gold Fins is looking forward to a new season. Our primary focus is to continue<br />
To provide opportunities for, and support our competitive swimmers and start putting in place avenues for<br />
our junior swimming community to become more involved in Club activities.<br />
I would like to thank the volunteer parents, those that served on the club management committee and<br />
those that have given their time for specific events, such as the Gold Rush meet and club nights. None of<br />
those things happen without your commitment, thank you.<br />
