Cole Classic Manly Ocean Swim
A big congratulations to the Drummoyne swimmers who braved the swell at Manly last weekend to compete in the Cole Classic Ocean Swim.
Pictured below are Jaxon Lewis, Noah Hale, Oscar Hale, Will Bolton, Skye Lewis and Dave Bolton (as well as Adam Lewis’ hand – Adam clearly has a future as a hand model!) This crew were joined by Adrian Bell, Phil Hayward, Michael Hayward, Hannah Hurst, Rosie Tunstall and the Cordaro clan plus Craig Corcoran who swam the 2km event – great work Craig.
A special mention to our two intrepid swimmers Melissa Kerr and Kristy Lewis who dug deep to compete in the 5km swim. The 5km swim goes from Shelley Beach up to Freshwater Beach and the back to South Steyne Beach. Well done Mel and Kristy!
Pool Entry Fees
A friendly reminder for swimmers and spectators that the club’s user agreement with Belgravia Leisure – who manage the pool – does not cover pool entry fees. All swimmers and spectators attending our swim club meets and squads must pay pool entry fees with each visit (via casual entry fees or by scanning multi visit passes).
Payment of entry fees allows Belgravia Leisure to maintain the quality of the facilities and services.
If a pool attendant is not at the entrance when you arrive please make sure that you pay entry fees on the way out.
Note that Belgravia Leisure offer a range of casual visit and multi visit pass options. Detailed about these options are shown below and are available on the Drummoyne Swimming Centre website.
If any members, parents or carers have any questions about this please feel free to contact Club President Adrian Bell on 0424 561 831.
