Dubbo Veterans Swimming Club Ducks are throwing off the weight of Christmas hams and pudding to set their sights on the wall at the end of 2025. This seems, though, a little further away for some after an indulgent holiday season!

However, Bob Rich ripped in to win the 50-metre Freestyle event with a time of plus .5 seconds ahead of Mal Cavanagh (.62), Peter Allen (1.25), followed by Nicole Johnstone and Tom Gray.

In the Brace Relay, Ron Everett and Dave Sparkes went within .06 seconds of a perfect time beating Richy and Dick Whiteford with Nic J and Tom G finishing third.

Mal Cavanagh showed recent training has him in good shape in the 100-metre race with Jack Allen touching second ahead of Tom, Peter Allen, and Nicole.

Dick Whiteford topped-off a good day with victory in the 25-metre Backstroke ahead of Rob Rich, Nicole, Jack, and Peter Allen.
