The air was crackling with excitement, the sound of splashing water and cheering crowds filled the space, and you could practically feel the tension in the air. The Metro Showdown wasn’t just about the races—it was the thrill of anticipation, the adrenaline pumping through the veins of athletes, and the collective energy of everyone gathered to witness greatness unfold – the inaugural MIKLIN METRO SHOWDOWN!
It was more than just another meet; it was an experience that brought athletes from the 4 NSW Metropolitan Areas together, turning a pool into a stage for triumphs and unforgettable moments. 96 Athletes from Metro North West, Metro South West, Metro South East and Metro North East, came head to head in a friendly battle pitting swimmer against swimmer, team against team.
Each race saw swimmers earn points for their Areas and it’s the points that determined the overall winners. At the end of the day there was $5000 up for grabs. With traditional races and non-traditional races it was an all out battle with the crowds cheering on their teams and with smoke machines filling the air with excitement.
Thank you to our sponsors Lane Cove Optical and JVIA Nutrition. Thank you to all four Metro Areas for contributing to the prize money and a massive thanks to our major sponsor Miklin & Co, we couldn’t have done it without you!
A vision of Area head to head racing successfully executed and enjoyed by all. Congratulations to all athletes, coaches and Metro Areas and to the Area winners – METRO NORTH EAST – you did us proud! Thanks Luke for the inspiration and your vision. Looking forward to 2025!
