Cobar swimmers Isabelle Gillette, Ashley Cousins, Malina Bottom, Alora Deppeler, Amara Bottom and Taylah Wyllie, lining up before their mixed ages 100 metres breaststroke event at the Cobar Swimming Club Carnival on Saturday at the Cobar Memorial Swimming Pool. The carnival attracted 57 swimmers from Cobar, Dubbo, Nyngan, Narromine and Tottenham and, for a number of young Cobar swimmers, it was their first time competing at a carnival. There were lots of personal best times recorded by the Cobar club members. There were also a large number of disqualifications by the tough carnival referee for technical infringements in breaststroke and butterfly events. This year’s carnival also included an ‘anything but a recognisable stroke’ novelty event with Molly Fitzsimmons, William Salmon, Clair Cousins and Henry Knight taking out first place. It provided an opportunity for kids to ignore their training and swim their fastest but without using a recognised stroke!
