Club officials said Tayla was a regular at the Bega Pool - both in, and out of, the water. 

"Her persistence and dedication to training has seen her qualify and complete at the recent NSW Country Championships at Homebush," a spokeswoman for the club said.

"There, she equalled her personal best times in the 100m breaststroke and backstroke swims; a fantastic performance."

When not hard at work training you can find Tayla coaching the junior squad in a the afternoons, inspiring the next generation of keen swimmers.

Tayla said her favourite swim is the breaststroke and she was particularly fond of the 100m distance events. 

Officials congratulated Tayla on her efforts at the pool and her good results.
