The annual heats were held at several venues across NSW on February 7, with Scone attending the Werris Creek meet.
The competition is open to swimmers aged between eight and 13 to encourage and provide young swimmers with the opportunity to qualify for and attend an entry level elite competition.
Fifty metre sprints in all four strokes are offered and swimmers awarded first to fourth place are invited to compete at the finals.
Most of the team have never swum at SOPAC before and are very excited to have earned themselves the opportunity to swim at such a tremendous centre.
Congratulations to all the club members who exhibited great sportsmanship and effort at the Speedo Sprint Heats.
