City celebrates local swimmers’ national achievements
The City is celebrating the incredible achievements of Geelong Swimming Club athlete Hayley Mackinder and her peers, following stellar performances at the 2021 Australian Age Swimming Championships.
Competing recently in the Gold Coast, Hayley rewrote the record books by breaking a 26-year-old Australian Age Record in the heats for the Women’s 13-years 100m breaststroke.
Hayley’s time came in at 1:11.66, with the previous record of 1:12.10 set in 1995 by World Short Course champion Kirsty Ellem.
To top off a great start to the championships, Hayley went on to win gold in the 100m breaststroke while also qualifying for the Olympic trials in June this year.
