The Corowa Aquatic Centre was the place to be on Sunday, March 2, as the Ovens and Murray Relay Championships delivered a day of thrilling competition, community spirit, and impressive swimming performances.
Hosted by the Corowa Sharks, the event saw teams from across the region come together for a fantastic showcase of talent and teamwork.
The atmosphere was electric, with cheers echoing down Sanger Street as swimmers gave their all in the pool.
Families, friends, and supporters lined the venue, celebrating each race and rallying behind their clubs.
The event also highlighted the strong volunteer spirit within the swimming community, with a dedicated team of organisers and helpers ensuring the day ran smoothly.
One of the standout moments of the day was the OMDSA Relay Team March Out, a spectacular display of teamwork and club spirit as all teams proudly paraded past the spectators.
The competition was fierce, but in the end, it was the refined and well-coordinated Yarrawonga Mulwala Swimming Club who claimed first place, with Corowa Sharks securing a strong second.
Another major highlight was the fundraising success of the Sunshine Swim. Participants of all ages from every Ovens and Murray District Swimming Association team helped the Yarrawonga Mulwala Swimming Club raise over $6,000 for the Albury Wodonga Cancer Centre, demonstrating the generosity and heart of the local swimming community.
The Corowa Sharks extend their gratitude to all swimmers, families, and volunteers who contributed to the event’s success, with special thanks to the committee and dedicated helpers who made the day possible.
A special thank you also goes to the Ovens and Murray District Swimming Association for their tireless efforts in organising such wonderful events.
The Sharks also expressed their appreciation to all participating Ovens and Murray teams for their support, contributions, and for helping to make this year’s event a success.
With fast swimming, enthusiastic support, and a shared passion for the sport, the Ovens and Murray Relay Championships proved to be a highlight on the local swimming calendar.
