Wavemakers Celebrate a Successful Year

BAROSSA SWIMMING CLUB PRESENTATION EVENING 2018-19

Chateau Yaldara again provided a perfect backdrop for a wonderful evening of reflection, celebration and appreciation of the Barossa Swimming Club at its annual awards dinner held last month.

With almost 120 of the club’s membership and their associates in attendance, the evening is a highly anticipated event within the club’s calendar, and this year the evening was attended by notable dignitaries including the Chairman of the Board of Swimming SA, Peter Graham, and the Member for Schubert, Stephan Knoll, who both spoke glowingly of the club’s progress since its inception in 2017, along with other VIP representatives from among the club’s sponsors including 1847 Wines Chateau Yaldara, Barossa Valley Toyota and Shannon Welding.

While the formalities of the evening extended to include presentation of trophies in categories including the Wavemaker of the Year Club Top 10, Junior Wavemaker of the Year, Rising Star Wavemaker, Improvement/Development, Commitment/Effort/Excellence, Relay Team of the Year, Individual Relay Swim of the Year, Superfish of the Year and Club Person of the Year (award winners listed below), Barossa Swimming Club swimmers and up-and-coming songstresses Isabella Shannon and Lauren Langford were two of the group who entertained with solo vocal performances.

Senior Club captains Kyrene O’Neill and Charlotte Ashmead delivered thoughtful and generous reflections of their experiences with the club over the past year, while junior captains Hannah Joseph and Jonte Reimann created and produced a well-received video interview offering with the swimmers.

The evening concluded with a very loud and proud rendition of the club chant, but not before the swim team had enjoyed its annual presentation evening dance routine with this year’s steps and moves performed to the tunes of the Queen classic, “Another One Bites the Dust”.
