Brophy is an inter-district team’s event.
For many years Swimming ACT has hosted the James Brophy Memorial Inter-District Sprint Meet. This meet brings together swimmers from all over the southern and western part of country NSW. Districts compete for the James Brophy Memorial Shield and the Peter Love Trophy. ACT has a very proud tradition of fighting hard to win both the Peter Love Trophy (for the overall point score) and the James Brophy Memorial Shield (for the handicap point score).
Events are 50m freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly for both girls and boys with ages ranging from 8 and under through to 16 and over. Each team can have up to two competitors in an event. And there are relays to finish off the meet, generally with a great deal of excitement.
