Peninsula Leisure Centre, Woy Woy, was host to Coast and Valley Swimming Association’s (CVSA) annual Short Course Swimming Championships for 2023 on June 2-4.

CVSA is the area body comprising swimming clubs from the Central Coast and Lower Hunter Valley.

The meet program saw a full complement of races, including a combined format of both senior, junior and multi-class races throughout the sessions.

The number of events swimmers could enter per session remained at five events, similar to Long Course Championships.

A total of 16 teams competed over the weekend, with 417 swimmers taking part.

This was slightly down from 2022, when 444 swimmers attended.

An impressive 18 Coast and Valley Records were broken over the weekend (six male and 12 female).

Central Coast swimmers to break records were Piper Jade Wardrop of Wyee Point Swim Club (11 years 400m freestyle) and Jodie Mead of Woy Woy Swim Club (14 years 50m freestyle).
