• Ciao to all – 10km in Italy and 7th

  Hoots and coach Matt Magee and finished the Italian sector of the Pan Pac preparation. Racing off solid training Hoots swam a remarkable 1hour 52 minutes and 06 seconds to finish seventh in the 10km race. Travelling onto Portugal where the race, apart from the distance, will be completely different. Water being 16 degrees will be a challenge in itself but adaptation and experience is the aim. Good luck Hoots.

• Age doesn’t matter when you are ‘running for a reason’

  Tommaso Puccini was not the only Perth City swimmer running for a reason at the HBF run last week. Our very talented ten year old Tommaso ran the distance in an amazing 52minutes wearing his Perth City t-shirt with pride! Many other Perth City members were involved in some way. Matt Gluey Glucina shone through with friends and families raising more than $24000. Thank you Bianca (Matt’s close friend) for allowing us to be part of this very special reason.
