The Season Heats Up!
Welcome to Week 4 of our Summer Racing Season! The competition is getting fierce and we’re seeing some outstanding performances across all age groups. This week brings an exciting mix of sprint and endurance events, plus an important qualifying opportunity for one of our prestigious club trophies.
This Week’s Events
100M Freestyle – The perfect middle-distance event! Fast enough to be exciting, long enough to require strategy and pacing. Get ready to put in a solid effort from start to finish.
100M Breaststroke – Technical precision meets power. The breaststroke is all about rhythm, timing, and that explosive kick. Who will dominate the pool this week?
200M Freestyle – Our distance event for the week, and an important one! This race will serve double duty (see below for details about the Geoff Roper Trophy).
As always, modified distances will be available for our junior swimmers to ensure everyone competes at an appropriate level.
Geoff Roper 200M Freestyle Handicap Trophy
Important Notice: This week’s 200M Freestyle races will act as qualifying heats for the prestigious Geoff Roper 200M Freestyle Handicap Trophy race, which will be held on 22nd November.
Make sure you give it your all this week – your time will determine your handicap for the trophy race. This is one of our most exciting events of the season, where handicapping ensures every swimmer has a genuine chance at victory!
Perpetual Trophy Returns
Attention Trophy Holders! If you currently hold any of the club’s perpetual trophies from previous seasons, please bring them back to the clubroom at your earliest convenience. We need to ensure all trophies are accounted for and ready for poolside presentations and engraving as we progress through this season. Thank you for your cooperation!
