Sun Shines Down On Another Packed Saturday Morning
It was another fantastic morning last Saturday morning down at Drummoyne Pool.
The day started with the competitive 50m Freestyle Championship heats, with competitors fighting for a spot in the Open Heats. The men’s and women’s Open heats were tight races with William Taylor and Annette Jamieson taking them out respectively. It was just milliseconds between Annette and runner up Gabrielle Perkins! Congratulations to all swimmers!
We also had the anticipated trophy final of the Five Dock Rotary 200m Individual Medley Handicap. It was an arduous final with lane 6 hitting the water after a 60 second handicap. Ultimately, it was Elise Borozan’s race to win as she took out the trophy within a second of runner up Caragh Price. Congratulations to all that made the final!
Come On Down To Squads
Squads are a great way to get in some extra fitness and practice for race day during the season. Members of Drummoyne Swimming Club have exclusive access to lanes 1 and 2 every weekday morning down at Drummoyne Pool.
Full Club members can participate in Saturday meets and morning squads are part of their membership fee. If you would only like to attend morning squads, you can join as a Squad Member for $50 – a great way to meet other members of the club while also staying fit. For more details click here.

Club Championship – Week 1
This Saturday we will be racing for the first points in our Club Championship series, starting with the 50m Freestyle sprint.
For Championship races there are no handicaps – everyone starts on “Go” and the fastest swimmer wins!
Championship events are raced against swimmers in the same age group and gender, with points awarded to the fastest three swimmers in each group.
Race distances are fixed by age group for each stroke, with younger swimmers racing shorter distances. This week the Under 8’s will race 30m Freestyle and Under 6’s 20m Freestyle.
Championship events are always raced first on Saturday mornings, followed by Handicap races for the other two events of the day.
If you are new to the Club, you need to have raced at three Club meets and be a financial member before becoming eligible to earn Championship Points. Points will be reviewed and adjusted at the end of the season before finalising the Club Championship results.
You can read more about the Club Championship rules, event structure and points on our Racing page. Check the Calendar for upcoming Championship races and other events.
So now is the time to sharpen up your speed and fitness with squad training every weekday morning down at the pool!
