17th November 2008 | Update on the future of Far
North Coast Swimming Association - The FNCSA meeting held on
Saturday 15th November was attended by Ian Harkness, CEO of SNSW. Ian
stated emphatically that the boundaries of the FNC Area would NOT
remain unchanged. He said that there were 2 possible options: 1. Far North Coast amalgamate with Mid North Coast to form a new North Coast Region which would stretch from just north of Newcastle to Tweed Heads. 2. After negotiations with Swimming Qld, some or all of the clubs in Far North Coast could affiliate with Swimming Qld instead of Swimming NSW. Our area would then become part of what is now Gold Coast Regional Swimming Association. All FNC clubs are urged to discuss these options and their ramifications and send their thoughts on preferences and potential problems to the FNC Secretary. A letter was distributed to clubs in attendance at the FNC Champs on Sunday. This can be found here. *

rest of the field a big head start, she managed to swim her way back

9th September 2008 | Jacqueline Freney wins bronze
at the Paralympic Games! Last night Jacqui won the bronze medal in
Womens 100m Freestyle - S8 class, only narrowly missing out on the
silver by 0.08sec. What a great swim by the 16 year old from Lennox
Head who is a member of the Aqua Z Swim Club. Jacqui will also be competing in the 400m Freestyle and the 50m Freestyle later in the week - Friday and Sunday I believe. So keep an eye out for these events. The athletes competing at the Paralympic Games are absolutely inspirational and well worth watching. *
