Congratulations to Rose Purcell and Sienna Parkes who recently competed in the 2024 QLD Open Water Championships held in Coolum on the stunning Sunshine Coast.

The day started off beautifully sunny, although the conditions became more challenging as the wind picked up during the race.

Both girls took part in the 5K event, which involved completing four laps of a 1.25K course.

They demonstrated impressive dedication and resilience throughout the competition, earning a commendable third place in their respective age groups.

The girls are now looking forward to swimming at the Open Water National Championships next year in Busselton Jetty, WA.
