Munday, 66, cleaned up at the NSW Masters Swimming State Short Course Championships, which were held on October 14 and 15 at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, taking home five individual gold medal and three relay gold medals.
In the process, Munday set a new state record and finished in first place for the Women’s 65 to 69 age category with 50 points in total from two-days of competition.
“Competition at the state championships is usually strong with swimmers coming from Sydney, regional New South Wales and the ACT to compete,” Munday said.
“I only compete in a few meets each year as I like to pursue other outdoor activities.”
I prepare for meets by training regularly at my local pool, with guidance from my long distance coach in Canberra, combined with some gym work.

Munday said she keeps her fitness levels up with regular training sessions in and out of the pool.
“I like to keep fit by swimming regularly, I prepare for meets by training regularly at my local pool, with guidance from my long distance coach in Canberra, combined with some gym work,” she said.
Munday’s individual success in the Masters Swimming State Short Course Championships came in the 100 metre breaststroke, 100 metre individual medley, 200 metre breaststroke, 200 metre individual medley and the 50 metre breaststroke.
“This year I was very relaxed about my race preparation, so I was very surprised to swim so well at this meet,” Munday said.
“I was particularly pleased to have broken the state record in the 200 metre breaststroke as this is my pet event.”
Masters swimming is all about promoting a fit and healthy lifestyle in a fun and supportive way.
It’s all about staying in shape and meeting like-minded fitness buddies.
While Munday has no immediate plans for her next competition, she has no intention to stop competing in the sport she loves so much.
“I intend to keep swimming and competing for as long as my body lets me – so far so good,” she said.
