17/12/23 - STINGRAY'S CHRISTMAS FAMILY HAG NOVELTY EVENT
A fun-filled morning on Sunday 17 December 2023 at the Stingray's Christmas Family HAG Novelty Event.
Lots of fun, laughter and some serious swims. You just can't stop the competitiveness in some people, even when they are swimming against their children and grandchildren!
We had 20 swimmers with the youngest being 9 and the oldest 76.
Events included:
Top and tails 50M, 4x 25M team relay, men's and women's open one lap dash, noodle race, old English backstroke lap, and the girls handicap dash.
Handicapping was applied and everyone had to choose their own handicap via selecting a lolly stick out of the bag. Times where then adjusted according to the handicap written on the stick eg. minus 2 seconds.
Everyone got a prize or three with sweets for all.
The winning family team "3 plus 1" consisting of grandmother Pat, her son Andrew and her grandchildren Tegwyn and Freya wearing their Christmas rashies. Well done!
The winners of each event were:
* Top and tails = Team "Big Mamma" aka Kerryn 63 and Jaxon 9
* 4 x 25 relay = Team "3 plus 1" aka, Pat 72, Andrew 46, Tegwyn 13 and Freya 11
* Men's open = Andrew 46
* Women's open = Taylor 23
* Noddle race = Tegwen 13
