The meeting provides competitors a chance to get in the pool, with less pressure than they might experience at a competitive meeting.
Horsham Sharks president Deidre Harrington said Sunday was the perfect chance for anyone interested in swimming to give the sport a go.
“For new comers to the swimming environment, it is a great opportunity for them to see how a swim meet is conducted,” she said.
“It's an opportunity for kids to see how good they are. Look at Deacon Briggs, Lachlan Start, Eoghan Purser, Jorja Clode; the potential is out there. Is there a Mitch Larkin or and Emily Seebohm out there?”
Sharks coach Megan Hutchinson said swimmers could experience a racing environment on Sunday without the pressure of a formal meeting.
