Lockdown extended
As you are all no doubt aware, the Sydney lockdown has been extended for another month, so Drummoyne Pool looks unlikely to open in September.
We are planning to start Swim Club on Saturday 9th October 2021, subject to NSW health orders easing by then.
The Club Committee will continue to monitor the situation and will be working to put a revise COVID-safe plan in place ahead of the pool reopening.
We’ll also provide updates about pool opening, squads and racing as more information comes to hand.
The Federal and State Governments are continuing to talk about vaccine passports and we will monitor developments and the potential application to Club activities.
Paralympic Inspiration
The Tokyo Olympics were such a bright spark in the current lockdown, especially the swimmers. And there is still plenty of inspiration on offer with the Paralympics. The achievements of our Paralympians will be mind-blowing and well worth watching. Check out this article and video about our Paralympian swimmers.
Combine time in front of the box with some pre-season training
Paralympics aside, if you feel like you’ve seen everything on Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Stan and all the other streaming services and want to start thinking about how you’re going to get back in the pool you might want to check out this short video from Effortless Swimming.
Effortless Swimming run coaching classes in Sydney (when pools are open) and they also have a YouTube channel and podcast. We’ll feature some of their videos over coming weeks to help you get your mind back on the pool.
