Well, last Saturday could not have been more miserable. But, despite the cold weather, the torrential rain and the cutting wind, we had a surprising number of brave souls who came down to recommence racing after the holiday break.
Luke Sellars powered home to take out the George Russell 400M handicap final ahead of Hannah Svoboda, who had a host of her besties to cheer her along. After a strong second place, I’m sure they’ll be back to watch Hannah again.
Casper and Rex couldn’t resist the opportunity to help sweep up the leaves that had accumulated on the pool deck – much to the surprise of their parents.
Anyway, the forecast for this week is much improved and we’ve got another action packed program with:
- 50M Freestyle*
- 50M Backstroke* including the 50M Backstroke Championship races, and
- Everyone’s favourite the 400M Medley
* We’ll also have a 30M and 20M Freestyle and Backstroke events and the 4 x 30M and 4 x 20M Medley as usual.
Squads are back
After a well earned break Lynette and Tony are back on pool deck on Tuesday and Thursday mornings running the Junior Squads with some help from Jessica.

Just come down to the pool – lanes 1 and 2 and join us.
