A SWARM of Coffs Harbour competitors have helped the club win the regional championships at the weekend.

Boasting a contingent of 49 swimmers, the Coffs Harbour Swimming Club came out on top by 500 points in the Swimming North Coast Long Course Championships at Banora Point.

With COVID-19 restrictions in mind, qualifying times were cut, spectators were restricted and a Division 2 was brought in, with four Coffs Coast swimmers winning their age group against some tough opposition from Trinity Lismore, Alstonville and Kingscliff.

Coffs Harbour’s Coco Becker, Luke Wilson and Isaac Ryan came out on top in their respective classes, with Sawtell’s Riley Andrews joining them.

The Tim Mullens Memorial, for the winner of the 13s 100 freestyle, was won by Angus Smyth from Alstonville who was also the fastest.

The Rex Clarke Memorial Trophy was won by Alstonville who were placed first in the Mixed Open Medley Relay.

There were 23 records broken on the Sunday with a similar number on the Saturday.
