The newly renovated bathrooms at Drummoyne Pool are looking great!
A big thank you to the City of Canada Bay Council for upgrading our facilities over the Winter break, including the installation of new diving blocks.
Only two weeks to go until we dip our toes back in the water and make use of the new changing rooms to freshen up.
Visit the Drummoyne Swimming Centre site below for more photos of the new bathrooms.

As a number of families will be away on Sunday 12th August 2018, we have decided to cancel the Winter Swim Club scheduled for that day at Saint Ignatius’ College, Riverview.
Drummoyne Pool opens up on 1 September, so not long to go until we can start training at our favourite venue again!
Congratulations to Club Champion Annette Jamieson, Club President Tim Doolan and John Cunningham for successfully crossing the English Channel on Friday 3rd August 2018 in a time of 11 hours 53 minutes.
