Last Training - Tuesday 28th March

Hi Everyone,

Our last training for the season will be Tuesday 28th March at the Irymple Pool (not Thursday 30th as I told you the other night)

We would just like to take this opportunity to thank our new members this season for joining our club and to our other members thank you for your ongoing support for our swimming club.

A special thank you to Mandy for all the hours that she has put into training this season - we know you spend a lot of time planning and delivering your training session - we definitely have results in and out of the pool - thank you :-)

Also, to Alison Chloe, James, Keeley and Lauren who have assisted Mandy this season.  It's fantastic to see you all step up and help out.

We will be in touch with you soon about training over the winter.

Club Championships

Hi Everyone,
We will be running our Club Championships on Tuesday afternoon at the Irymple Pool instead of club training.

We will be starting at 5.30pm sharp, due to the pool closing at 6.30pm.  If you can be there a little bit earlier to set up that would be great.  We will need parents to stay and timekeep as well.

Cost is $3.50 per event - payable on the day

Club Championships are usually only open to registered competitors but this season we have decided to include members who have joined this season as recreational swimmers.  After all your training over the summer, it would be nice to give you an opportunity to compete.

Please email your entries back to this address preferably by Monday evening but I will still take them on the day.


Events are freestyle, backstroke,breaststroke and butterfly, 
1 lap up 10 years
2 laps 11 - 16 years (except butterfly which is 1 lap)
17/over - optional 1 or 2 laps

Hope that makes sense!

Special thanks to all the kids that helped out too with the timekeeping and other jobs on the night - you are a fantastic group of young people!!

Everyone's help is always greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Robyn & Dave

PS - The new shirts look great too - thanks Soph :-)
