Well Done Torpedoes

Way to go Torpedoes on claiming one back  from the new League champions; Simba  Seals, in there own back yard. Fourth League  was one to remember, with all that pride on  the line; winning hasn’t felt so good It was  clear to all that everyone stepped up and  swum their hearts out, with one common  goal of bettering themselves.  
 
We welcomed the determination and individual points of the new kids on the block namely,  Jack Zeravika, Wouter Vondeling, Joris Vondeling , Annice Bellows, and Lena Frederick; whom now have one meet under their belts. Harry and Olivia keep training smart, as your moment to shine will come. ​

As we look forward to what’s in store for these new swimmers we also must say goodbye and thank you to Austin Prince and Tom Donker. Stalwarts of our team, unwavering in their attempts to be the men they believe they are meant to be. We will always be grateful and you will be remembered, for sharing your journey with us. Going out on a winning note epitomizes who you both are!
