Ten Viking swimmers wanted to ditch their fleecy jumpers and escape the chilly Canberra winter, to go to a place where the temperature is always warm. The 2024 MSA National Championships were held 3-7 May 2024 at the lovely Parap Pool in Darwin, Northern Territory.

The Masters Swimming Queensland State Short Course Championships were held over four days from 18-21 April 2024 at the Chandler Aquatic Centre in Brisbane. The Queenslanders run a fast and efficient meet with fastest-first seeding and seeing separate racing for women and men in the 25, 50, and 100m events. Solo Viking, Caz Makin completed 12 individual swims over the four days.

The 2024 MSNSW State Long Course Championships were held on 13/14 April 2024 at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

Tuggeranong Vikings were represented by 19 swimmers: 14 women and 5 men. Overall, our club achieved a total of 848 points, placing us fourth from the 41 participating clubs.

A couple of valiant Vikings visited the MSV State Long Course Championships held on Sunday, 7 April 2024 at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre. There was the opportunity to race up to six individual events in this one-day meet, which proved to be great race practice for Liz Daly and Caz Makin.

Once again on the Canberra Day long weekend, several ACT-based open water swimmers from our club or friends of our club headed to Broulee for some fun, surf, and sun.

Sunday, 10 March turned out to be a spectacular day with clear skies, warm water, and great conditions for the 2024 Bay to Breakers 1.4k Ocean Swim.

It was a small group of six female Vikings who competed at the Blacktown BPS Meet held on 24 February 2024. It was a great opportunity to practice race strategies amongst many friends in a low-key and friendly environment.

The first MSNSW race meet for the year kicked off on 27 January 2024 at the Campbelltown BPS Meet. The 50m outdoor pool at The Gordon Fetterplace Aquatic Centre is always a favourite with our Vikings crew and the Campbelltown Masters always put on a good meet!

After a cool November and then a week of heavy rain and gloomy weather, the Sri Chinmoy National Capital Swim 10km event was held under beautiful conditions on Sunday, 3 December 2023. Our club had two solo competitors.

Our club Christmas gathering and awards presentation was held at Tuggeranong Town Park on Sunday, 10 December 2023. Congratulations to the 2023 award recipients.
