The first short‑course carnival of the season is underway with over 170 kids hitting the water for Day 1 of the TAS Preparation Meet.

And a big shout‑out to our FNQ Technical Officials who keep everything flowing. You are the reason we’re able to run days like this, and we’re so grateful you’re here ❤️

Some phenomenal results to report from the 2026 Australian Swimming Trials, with three FNQ athletes stepping up on the national stage and delivering outstanding performances.

🥇 Grant “Scooter” Patterson — Centrals
Scooter had an exceptional meet, securing his place on the 2026 Para Pan Pacific Swimming Championships team with two brilliant swims:

150m IM MC — 1st Place
50m Breaststroke MC — 2nd Place
A huge achievement and another chapter in an already remarkable career.

🏊‍♂️ Sydney Kito — Stingrays
Sydney took on two demanding events and held his own in a stacked national field:

200m Individual Medley — 12th Place
200m Backstroke — 13th Place
A strong showing across two technical races.

🏊‍♂️ Nathan Andronicus — Marlin Coast
Nathan delivered two outstanding swims, showcasing both endurance and power:

400m Freestyle (MC) — 13th Place
100m Breaststroke (MC) — 10th Place (narrowly missing a finals spot)
A phenomenal effort!

Amazing to see so many FNQ swimmers stepping away from the pool to have a go at the Green Island Ocean Swim this week! With athletes taking on either the 1.5km or 3km distances, they pushed through a pretty decent current and some choppy waves — proper open‑water conditions.

Huge effort from everyone who got out there and gave it a crack. FNQ spirit on full display.
