Eldridge makes waves

Warracknabeal swimming sensation Lily Eldridge, 15, is set to take part in Australian Age Swimming Championships at Adelaide’s SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre.

The titles are between April 15 and 20.

The young star has competed with Bendigo East Swimming Club for 12 months and spends her summer volunteering as a coach at Warracknabeal Swimming Club.

Her coaching efforts at Warracknabeal led to her winning major recognition at Wimmera Sport Star Awards earlier this year.

Lily said her goal for the meet was to achieve personal bests in each event.

The titles incorporate selection trials for the 2019 FINA World Junior Championships in Budapest and involve Australia’s future swimming stars competing for the opportunity to be crowned Australian Age Champion.
