It has been a tumultuous year for the organisation with the early closure of the outdoor pool due to a leak, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic which saw pools closed across the state and competitions cancelled.
Meanwhile, coach John Hickey has been building up the squad's basic fitness with staggered training programs enhanced by dry land training undertaken during the pool closure.
Hickey has incorporated two to three sessions most afternoons and a session each morning, with Lisa Steele juggling the 'roster' and co-ordinating numbers in the training lanes.
