Sale Swimming Club, in conjunction with Gippsland Swimming Incorporated, are looking forward to hosting the Gippsland Championships this weekend.
The two-and-a-half-day event is being held at Aqua Energy Leisure Centre, and will bring more than 800 swimmers and spectators to Sale.
The Gippsland Championships are the pinnacle swimming event of the year for the Gippsland area.
The event begins at 5.30pm this Friday, February 24, and continues through to Sunday afternoon.
It promises to be an action-packed weekend, with some of the best swimmers in Victoria competing across the 120 events being swam over the three days.
Joining Sale at the Gippsland Championships will be Traralgon, South Gippsland Bass, Morwell, Moe, Warragul and East Gippsland Water Dragons swimming clubs.
The competition gives local swimmers the chance to experience and compete at a championship level, and encourages participation from all club members.
Sale Swimming Club and Gippsland Swimming would like to acknowledge the support from the major sponsors of the event, Loy Yang B and Wellington Shire Council.
