Team App Update: New Season, New Feature!

As we dive into a fresh season at Drummoyne Swimming Club, we’ve made a small but fun update to the Team App sign-in process — designed to bring a bit more motivation and personality to your Saturday race meets.

New Feature: “Personal Goals for Today?”

This season, swimmers will be prompted to share their personal goals when signing in via Team App. Whether you’re aiming to:

  • Complete a Time Trial,
  • Swim a new PB,
  • Or outpace your poolside rival…

Just type your goal into the “Personal goals for today?” field. At the end of each meet, our AI tool will compare your results against your goal — and if you hit the mark (or come close), you might get a shout-out in our post-race summary!

Prefer to keep your goals private? No worries — simply enter “-” and you’ll still be signed in as usual.

Quick Reminder: How Sign-In Works

When signing in for a Saturday race meet, you’ll be asked to complete a few simple questions:

  • Going / Non-Going – Select “Going” if you (or your child/dependant) plan to swim. If you’ve already RSVP’d “Yes,” this will be auto-selected.
  • Sprint / Form Stroke / Long Distance – Choose your race distances for each category. You can enter one race per category, plus a Time Trial if you’re trying a new distance.
  • Time Trial for any of the above? – Answer “Yes” if you’re swimming a Time Trial for a stroke or distance you haven’t raced before (or not last season).

Time Trials – What New Starters Need to Know

If you’re new to the Club or trying a longer race distance, you’ll need to complete a Time Trial before being entered into a race. This helps us record your swim time and match you with swimmers of similar pace in future meets.

Time Trials are typically required:

  • In your first few weeks at the Club.
  • When upgrading to a longer race distance (e.g. moving from 20m to 30m freestyle).

To request a Time Trial, simply:

  1. Select the new distance you wish to trial.
  2. Answer “Yes” to the “Time trial for any of the above?” question in Team App.

See you all poolside this Saturday 11 October 2025 at 7.30am!

Enter Your Relay Teams!

If you would like to participate in the Family and Geribo Cup relays this Saturday, please send in details of swimmers and teams:

  • For the 4x50m Family Relay we need teams of four people from one or more families.
  • For the 4x50m Geribo Cup Relay, choose a team with the four fastest people who can win you that chocolate trophy!

For each swimmer, we need your name and details, including current time for 50m freestyle:

  • If you already have a 50m time in our database then we’ll use that.
  • If you have a child who normally swims 20m or 30m but would like to swim a leg in the 50m relays (perhaps with assistance from Mum or Dad) then please email in an estimated time for 50m and we’ll slot them in.
  • If family or friends would like to participate in the fun day relays but haven’t yet registered with the club or swum a time trial for 50m freestyle, then please ask them to register for a free trial on Team App before Saturday morning and email an estimate of their time for 50m freestyle.

Provisional relay teams based on entries received last Saturday are listed here:

Please review these details and email through any updates including preferred team names and new entries to Duncan Lyon racesecretary@drummoyneswimclub.com.au

A big thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Battle on the Bay on Saturday 17th February 2024, included the many volunteers who helped to run the carnival like clockwork. We have received very positive feedback from other Clubs who expressed envy at the many Drummoyne family and friends who willingly help us in running such a successful carnival.

The full results of the carnival have been published here, including the many medal winners from Drummoyne. Congratalations to everyone who won an award and swam PB’s in our annual battle against the other Clubs!
