Last Friday, members and their families gathered in the park to celebrate another strong season highlighted by their Shine Shield win.
The Shine Shield saw them pitted against Harden, Yass and Binalong for bragging rights over the Christmas holidays.
Winning the competition often comes down to participation; the more people who swim the greater the collection of points, reflecting on the strength of the small club.
2016/17 coach Katia Manton could not be prouder of the way her troops conducted themselves this season.
Whether swimmers went on to represent their school in swimming or achieved a personal best time, most showed improvement throughout the season.
