Up to 140 swimmers from across the west made a splash in Coonamble for the town's annual swimming carnival on the weekend.

Despite wild storms that swept through the region on Friday, six-year-olds to teenagers from areas including Walgett, Coonabarabran, Wee Waa and Dubbo swam in clean and sunny conditions at Coonamble Swimming Pool on Sunday.

"For a lot of kids this is their first carnival," Coonamble Swimming Club president Ben Williams said.

"Everything went well. It was a lot of work for the committee to put it on, but we do it so the kids can enjoy the day and for everyone to come in and have a bit of a catch up."

Swimmers competed for money prizes up to $80 across freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and relay.

The more competitive types also took the chance to bag a qualifying time to complete in the 2024-25 NSW Summer Championship.

The hosts had 47 swimmers in the pool, by far the biggest club on the day. 

"A lot of, lot of kids were doing personal bests," Mr Williams said.

"Most kids are just here for the day and want to get first, second or third, or win a bit of prize money."
