Iona Swim Club

What an incredible week for Iona Swim Club at the Brisbane Senior SC Championships!

A huge congratulations to our 21 representatives, who showcased the hard work, determination and team spirit that defines our club.

Congratulations to every swimmer who represented Iona throughout the meet. Whether it was stepping onto the podium, achieving a Top 10 finish, or simply racing with pride, every performance contributed to an outstanding championship.

🚨 School is in this morning for Australian Olympic swimming stars Zac Stubberty-Cook and Ella Ramsay, who joined us at Iona College this morning for a training session with Iona Swim Club coach, and all-round legend, John Gatfield.

Zac and Ella are preparing for a long stint on the road, starting with a month in Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games starting in July, before heading to LA for the Pan Pacs in August. 🇦🇺

So it was definitely our pleasure to make both of them feel at home at Iona College. 🦍

Good luck to all our Aussies competing abroad in the months ahead!
