New Club Costume
It’s been a while since we’ve had club costumes on offer. This summer we’ve been working with the good people at Budgy Smuggler and we’ll shortly have a new club costume for sale. We’ll have three options – male brief (traditional cut), male Jammers and the female thin strap as shown below. Keep an eye out for communications about this. We’ll take orders and all going well the costumes will arrive in time for the Battle on the Bay.
Monday and Wednesday Squads – older kids welcome
In order to cater better for our youth swimmers, club swimmers aged 12 and above are welcome at our Monday and Wednesday squads.
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.
