Please click the link to complete this form.Mia and Lily did amazing at the pool rescue this weekend. They haven’t had any training or coaches, and were competing against clubs that have been training, some intensely for months.
Mia got 1 point for Wambi in the 50m with fins going the whole way underwater without a breath and finishing 1st in her heat and 6th overall.
Lily and Mia loved it!
They hope to go back next year, and would love to see more Wambi kids compete and enter the relay events too.
