The hornets tested their capacity taking part in the virtual Rotto swim held at Kwinana Recquatic. In its first year at KR the club entered with 3 teams, a team of 5, a team of 4 and an individual entry. W.A.L.L.Y. (Weary Arms Legs Limbs Yes) made up of John Buonvecchi, Tony Ball, Lara Buonvecchi, Annalyse Gaffney and Sebastian Buonvecchi swam 500m each before changing over. The quad team Happy Hornets made up of Austin McAleese, Kelsey Jones, Nina Buonvecchi and Zalman Hardy finished first after changing each 1000m. Ryan struggled through the race and hit the wall at the 12km mark. From there survival strokes were the key and he finished painfully in under 8 hours (just!!). Everyone put in a huge effort and the publicity we received was fantastic - it was excellent to see everyone giving it a go - congratulations to everyone involved and many thanks to the parents, KR and the media who help support such a great day!!
