    HI EVERYONE!Another great month for the Mighty Makos!

    Our swimmers enjoyed success again

    both nationally and internationally.

    Chelsea and Chloe Gubecka travelled

    to Sydney and came back with a swag

    of medals. Kareena Lee had a taste of

    Hawaii when she competed at the

    Junior Pan Pacific Championships.

    Our State qualifiers represented the

    Makos at the Queensland Short

    Course Championships at Chandler

    with great success. Both our juniorand senior swimmers performed great

    at the Wide Bay Short course

    Championships at our very own

    Mountain Creek Aquatic Complex.

    Well done to all, we are now looking

    forward to he new club night season

    and we wish good luck to our

    swimmers competing at national, state

    and regional level meets next month!

    Mountain Creek Mooloolaba swim club helped host the 2012 Wide Bay SC Championships at the MountainCreek Aquatic Centre between 4-5 August.Our club swimmers did very well; they swam some fantastic times and managed to do some awesome PBs. We are very proud of the kids and the work they do. Our parents also assisted with the officiating, BBQ, setup of the meet, as well as pack up. Our BBQ did very well, with the bacon and egg burgers and the MightyMako burger being delicious and filling people up. In fact, they were so good we sold out!Thank you must go to Michael and Genevieve King for allowing us to use the complex, as well as to all theparents that helped over the 2 days of competition, and of course our coaches Barry Kime and Michael Gibsonwho were sensational over the 2 days.

    Our club came 3rd overall. Results are available on our website.We are now looking forward to our meet in February to be held at the same complex!

    Medal tally: 27 gold 9 silver 9 bronze
