Cobar Mermaids resurface in pool

The Cobar Mermaids have resurfaced this season with the women’s swimming club re-commencing organised events last Monday.

After a season break, the ladies are back in the pool each Monday night to compete in three handicapped freestyle events, 30 metres, 50 metres and 100 metres.

In the 30 metres swim this week Jordan Cappi finished within 0.40 seconds of her nominated time to claim first place ahead of Bianka Jacobson second with 0.65 and Leah Le Lievre was third on 2.63.

Grace Burge took line honours in the 50m swim with 0.34 seconds off her time. Mollie Harley (1.90) just pipped Jacobson (1.91) for second spot.

Burge then backed up to win the 100m with a time of 0.75 ahead of Le Lievre (2.02) and Harley (2.21).

This week they also welcomed another six new swimmers who swam preliminary times.
