Parramatta City Swim Club have proven they are the team to beat this swimming season, racking up more than two dozen medals at a recent major competition.
Competing at the Swimming Metro North West 2023 Summer Championship, 27 swimmers from Parramatta City took to the pool at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre late last month.
In an incredible effort, more than 95 per cent of the swims during the weekend of October 28 and 29 were personal bests.
Overall, the club came away with six gold, 13 silver and nine bronze individual medals, with half the swimmers achieving a top 10 place.
The club’s young female swimmers stood out above the rest, with Eileen Jia Lee scoring 10 individual medals, while Romee Lee picked up nine medals and Lina Oh won five.
The Swimming Metro North West 2023 Summer Championship featured young swimmers from right across the region including Hawkesbury, Blacktown, The Hills, Hornsby, Ryde, Parramatta and Cumberland.
