Report By Philippa Rickard

One year on from her first swim meet with Tuggernanong Masters, Philippa Rickard travelled up the same road, to the same pool to have her  final individual meet with the club at the Wett Ones BPS Meet held on 26 May 2012 at the Sydney University Aquatics Centre, before heading back to the UK.

It was a great turnout with seven swimmers including Philippa’s sister Caroline Makin, Leisa Cass, Roger Dietrich, David Bale, Kristen Leydon and Ann Reid.

With a good choice of swimmers, we entered a mixed medley relay in the 160+ age group with Kirsten, Roger, David and Leisa and they finished 2nd place in a time of 6:47.25.

The Wett Ones club organised the event with a raffle and spot prizes, one being for the 200m Butterfly in which Ann got a spot prize of a basket of goodies!  These however were not the usual type of goodies such as bottles of wine, chocolates, swimming hats, etc … much to Ann’s surprise the basket was full of lubricants (varying flavours), creams, massage oil, wipes and condoms!

Our results were as follows:

Ann:  1^st in age group, 1^st – 400m Freestyle, 1^st – 200m Butterfly, 1^st – 100m Butterfly

Leisa: 2^nd in age group, 1^st – 100m Breaststroke, 1^st – 200 Freestyle, 2^nd – 400m Freestyle

Kristen:  11^th in age group, 4^th – 50m Butterfly, 6^th – 50m Freestyle, 7^th – 400m Freestyle

Caroline:  5^th in age group, 2^nd – 50m Backstroke, 3^rd – 50m Butterfly, 4^th – 100m Freestyle
