A club spokeswoman said the group did well to claim a number of medals on the day and swim some personal best times.
The event was a very successful start to the summer season with more than 500 entries across the day’s racing.
Another five club members will also travel to Thredbo this weekend to take part in an intensive training program.
The event was organised by swimming coach John Pelling and will aim to provide his young charges with the opportunity to further improve their swimming.
The event is similar to the high-altitude training olympic athletes take part in.
Zak Kelly, Georgia and Jack Caldwell and Kaitlyn and Chelsea Hoare will make the trip.
Another group of club swimmers will represent the area in the Batemans Bay carnival that will run on Saturday.
Meanwhile, in Eden the club has been enjoying regular swim meets.
The spokeswoman said the club aimed to acknowledge those putting in a little extra effort with the swimmer of the week awards.
This week saw three young ladies, who pitched in and helped to set up and pack down at the end of recent meets.
The spokeswoman said no sporting group can run without volunteers and it was wonderful to see the girls help out.
The swimmers of the week for their ongoing efforts were Holly Switzer, Sophie Switzer and Georgia Caldwell.
