Rylee made her state championship debut and did not disappoint, finishing ninth in the 50 metre breaststroke event and setting personal best times in two of her four events.
Amy, 10 had the club's busiest program at the event, competing in nine events.
She achieved an incredible seven personal bests and made the final eight of four events.
