Hay Amateur Swimming Club held its annual swimming carnival on Saturday, providing a wonderful opportunity for many of the swimmers to compete in what was their first carnival outside school.

Competitors also travelled from Griffith, Coleambally, Deniliquin, Finley and Leeton/Yanco swimming clubs.

How do you make a whole group of children happy? Announce a $30,000 grant that will go towards building a kitchen, and drastically increasing amenities at Hay’s John Houston Memorial Swimming Pool.

Seven of Hay’s little superfish competed in Southern Inland Swimming Association (SISA) Championships and Speedo Sprint heats at the Griffith Aquatic Centre recently.

Girl power prevailed as the Hay Amateur Swimming Club had five swimmers invited to compete in the Southern Inland Swimming Association Invitational.

Hay’s children are leading the way in representative sport.
