Making Gippsland Proud! A month ago we were watching these three swimmers compete in the Gippsland Championships and this week they have gone toe to toe with Australia’s best. After an impressive performance, Emily has a very good chance of going to Rio as part of the Australian team. All three will compete along with several other Gippslanders at National Age beginning on Monday April 13. We wish all our swimmers the very best and congratulate them for their efforts!
