This Saturday we have our final Saturday morning meet of the calendar year before we take a short holiday season break.
We’re having a Christmas extravaganza with Santa flying in from the North Pole and a BBQ breakfast. Feel free to bring a friend or two to join us for the festivities.
So far as racing goes, this week we continue our championship races with the 50M Breaststroke race. Championship races are off scratch – so no handicaps. As usual we’ll have age group races and then an open final for the fastest qualifiers – young and old – to see who is the fastest in the club.
The 50M Breaststroke event will be followed by the 50m Freestyle event and then by our long distance event, which this week is 200M Freestyle. As always there will be shorter races for youngsters.
Monday and Wednesday Squads – older kids welcome
In order to cater better for our youth swimmers, we’re opening up our Monday and Wednesday squads to club swimmers aged 12 and above.
So, if you’re older kids are looking to improve for competitions or get in some extra fitness while having fun, we’d encourage you to bring them along on a Monday and/or Wednesday.
We have dedicated coaching on deck, to provide guidance, motivation, and a friendly push to help swimmers achieve their goals. Our adults squad members will also provide support and motivation.
We’ll see how this goes up to the Christmas break and evaluate the program from there.
