Mia Uebergang’s feathers are changing! The once tiny tot, is now growing her “big duck” plumage, and testing the “more mature” embers of the flock!

On Sunday, June 23, young Mia took advantage of a much-smaller field to win the 25-metres Freestyle from Brian Schloeffel and Mark Prentice. She backed this wonderful result up, with another win in the Closest-to-Time, 50-metre Backstroke, from Mark Prentice.

Mark later quipped with good humour that he was: “chasing Mia’s heels all morning”!

Dave “Wheelbarrow” Sparkes also put in a big effort in the 50-metre Breaststroke, to just touch-out Neil Harris. However, they both got “the red flag” in the end, and Judy Walsh was more-than-happy to take home the points. It was a family thing also, as grandmother, wasn’t going to have her speedy Duckling, take all the honours!

Neil Harris teamed-up with Marg Ross to also win the two times 25-metre Freestyle Brace Relay from Mark Scullard and Brian Schloeffel.

This week, The Ducks will be swimming the Incentive Race.

The Ducks also sadly farewelled Ron Soden last week. On Sunday, all were also sending best wishes to the Ducks beloved stalwart and patron, Reg Ferguson who is himself battling ill-health.
