Last Saturday we had a great start to the season. There were a lot of impressive performances. It was lovely to see quite a few new swimmers doing time trials. There were challenges with the PA system not working. And a few regular officials were away. Despite that we managed to get through the day and have fun along the way.
This week our races are:
- 100M Freestyle
- 50M Backstroke
- 400M Freestyle
For anyone who wants to look ahead, the weekly racing calendar is available here.
For our new swimmers (and to recap for old hands) the weekly racing order is
| Racing Order: | |
|---|---|
| 1st Event | Short Distance Freestyle (50M or 100M) Where the programme shows a 100m race we also run 50M, 30M and 20M races for those who don’t want to do the 100M. |
| 2nd Event | Form Stroke (Breaststroke, Backstroke or Butterfly) Where the programme shows a 100m race we also run 50M, 30M and 20M races for those who don’t want to do the 100M. (But who wouldn’t want to do 100M Butterfly?) |
| 3rd Event | Long Distance event (200M or 400M Freestyle or Medley) As with the short form events, we run 4 x 30M and 4 x 20M long distance events each week as well. |
Later in the season we’ll throw Championship races into the mix. With those races there are no handicaps, it’s a straight shootout to see who is fastest!
Team App
We use TeamApp to enter participants into races each Saturday. It is important that you sign yourself and your dependents in via TeamApp each week. Please try and do it by COB on Friday if you are plannning to come along on Saturday.
We’ve made some changes to the TeamApp system over winter and kids can now be set up and signed in separately from parents.
Take a look at the instructions on the website if you are uncertain about what to do. Contact Adrian or Duncan via text if you need assistance setting it up.
Note, TeamApp is just for Saturday racing. Swimmers still need to be registered with the Club through the Swim Central website.
Waterpolo Friday night competition
Any swimmers who are interested in more swimming should have a go at water polo with our sister club the Drummoyne Devils.
