The 200m sprints event was held over two days in the clear but cold conditions at West Lakes Aquatic Centre in Adelaide.
The Titivators were the only club from the North Coast to be able to submit a complete team in four categories of Over 50s Womens 10s , Over 60s Womens 10s , Over 60s Opens 10s and the Over 50s Opens 20s.
Although our teams did not earn medals overall, we were just pipped for fourth place of 17 in the Over 60s Open crew by 0.14 sec. Our women's teams placed a credible 15th of 30 (50s) and 14th of 26 (60'), in a fierce competition against paddlers from all states of Australia.
Overall it was an excellent result from our small, but dedicated group, breaking many club records for times over 200m.
