Last Saturday, Sydney Branch held their yearly assessment for the Gold Medallion, and 8 members from Coogee successfully completed it with flying colours. Coogee had the highest number of representatives sitting the award across branch and would like to thank George Fatseas for selflessly sacrificing 4 mornings every week to train the group year-round - an absolutely legendary commitment. A special mention to Craig Howie who helped assessed 20 candidates in 40 degree heat.

The President’s Cup was held on Sunday 3rd December at the Southern End of Coogee beach. Once again, we had a tremendous turnout of our members who clearly enjoy the team format.  Members were randomly placed into teams of 6 to compete in a variety of events including a beach sprint relay, handicapped swim and teams’ swim. Teams accumulated points across the 3 events to go towards an overall point score to determine a winner.
