Please complete an entry for each member of your family or group.

You’ll need to enter your payment reference or into the Google Form so that we can reconcile who has paid.

If you have any issues registering please contact Adrian on 0424 561 831.

* plus 3% transaction fee ($6.18) if you pay using the Team App Store or Square at Swim Club. No transaction fee applies if you pay by EFT.

Missed races means loss of Club points!

The carnival will run from 3pm to 7.30pm, with events run in the following order, by gender and age group:

  • Freestyle (50m, 30m, 20m)
  • Butterfly (50m, 30m, 20m)
  • Backstroke (50m, 30m, 20m)
  • Breaststroke (50m, 30m, 20m)
  • 4x50m relays (50m, 30m, 20m)
  • 10x50m relay (50m, 30m, 20m)


Everyone who enters and swims in a race will win points for the Club. The higher you finish in your event, the more points you will earn!

However, if you enter a race but DO NOT SWIM, you will LOSE points for the Club!! So it’s important that you are available to swim every race that you enter. In the past, we have lost the carnival because we’ve had so many empty Drummoyne lanes, which is very disappointing for the other Club swimmers who have participated.

If you plan to leave the carnival early (before 7.30pm) or expect to arrive late (after 3pm) then please DO NOT ENTER events that you are likely to miss. For example, if you don’t expect to arrive until 4pm, then please don’t enter the Freestyle or Butterfly events as you will likely miss your races and lose points for the Club.

Week 14: Backstroke Championship plus you won’t want to miss the 400m Individual Medley!

Well I hope you didn’t melt on Australia Day! After a short reprieve, it looks to be heating up again for Saturday, although we might be in for a damp morning.

The morning will start off with the 50m Backstroke Championship events as our form stroke.

Following the Championships, our sprint event is the 50m Freestyle.

Finally our distance event is the 400m Individual Medley (plus shorter medley races for those who want to do them).

Congratulations to our George Russell 400m Handicap Final Winner and our Bill Gallie 50m Breaststroke Finalists

Congratulations to Lukas Taylor for taking out the George Russell 400m Freestyle Handicap trophy race last weekend. Lukas continues the tradition set by his older brothers and add the Taylor family name to another trophy. Let’s see if Lukas can back it up with the 400m Championship race next month.

Congratulations also to those that qualified for the Bill Gallie 50m Breaststroke Handicap Final. You’ve got a few weeks to continue your breaststroke training – with the final set for Feb 13.

Good luck at school, kids!

Best of luck for the first days back at school to those swimmers who start this week.

Week 13: Trophies and Points on offer!

For those who were still on holidays last week, Saturday was a lovely start to the new year of swimming – the sun was shining, the birds were singing, a pod of dolphins were performing tricks in Iron Cove and mermaids and mermen were sunning themselves on the rocks near the pool.

This week it is back to business with freestyle points races (for the young and not so young), heats for our main breaststroke trophy and our George Russell long distance freestyle trophy final.

The order of events is:
