It was the club's first event for the summer season, and in fielding eight relay teams across different disciplines, they were also able to reel in three silver medals and a bronze medal to add to the golds.
Queanbeyan combined with the Telopea Swim Club during the relay events, which is a partnership that extends back to the end of last year, and Queanbeyan club committee member Sharon Siciliano said swimmers from each club combined well.
"We had a great two days across the board, and being the first event we've had this season, it was a good start for us," she said.
"In conjunction with Telopea Park we had impressive wins in all four relay events against both local and interstate clubs."
The most successful team at the event was the men's 12 years and under side, which took out the gold medals for both the 200 metre freestyle relay and the 200 metre medley relay.
In other results the women's 12 years and under team took gold in the 200 metre freestyle relay and silver in the 200 metre medley, the men's 13 years and over side won silver in the 200 metre freestyle and bronze in the 200 metre medley, while the women's 13 years and over team finished with gold in the freestyle and silver in the medley.
Swimmers Anita Manning, Rachel Condat, Emily Siciliano, Lexie Boulton, Katherine Boulton, Joe Pascall, Nik Trajkovski, Alex Lakic, Claire Molineux each earned NSW State Age and NSW Country championship qualifying times.
