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. Well something like that…
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:
Molly Wark & Les Henry U/10 100m Freestyle – Week 3
Could everyone that took home trophies handed out at the recent pool side presentations please bring them back to the swim club room by Saturday 13 February 2021.
We’ll need them back to arrange engraving for this season’s winners.
We’re looking to place an order for Swim Parkas and Delfina Costumes. If you are in the market for one of these products please read on.
Looking for the perfect training coat as we head into the winter months?
Spotz Competition Swimwear offer high quality training coats that are extra long with a fleece lining, ideal for girls, boys, men and women. The extremely warm long jackets feature double safety zips at top and bottom and a drawstring hood to trap warmth.
A sample coat (minus the club logo) will be available to view at a merchandise table above the main grand stand this weekend.
We are currently seeking expressions of interest to proceed with ordering (we require a minimum of 12 orders).
If you are interested in ordering a jacket email enquiries@drummoyneswimclub.com.au. If we don’t make the minimum order number we’ll be in touch to let you know.
Delfina Costume Order
We’re also looking to place an order with our costume supplier Delfina and need to confirm order numbers for costumes.
The options are: – Boys / Mens swim brief ($45) – Boy’s / Mens jammer ($50) – Girls / Ladies Open Back costume ($65)
We need to order a minimum of 5 x pieces per costume. If we don’t make the minimum quota for any particular style we’ll be in touch to discuss an alternative.
Be sure to check out the size guide before making your selection as we are placing a special order and returns to Delfina will not be possible. We’ll try and arrange to on sell the garment to another club member if possible.
Note that experience from our first order suggests that sizing is on the small side (ladies costumes in particular). So go for a bigger size if you’re not sure. For certainty, talk to a club member who has a costume about sizing or check out the stock that we hold at a Saturday race.
Payments for swim parkas and costumes
Payments must be made via EFT or by Credit Card or cash at Swimming Club.
We hope you had a peaceful and restful Christmas and New Year break and that the time off provided lots of opportunities to sneak in some extra training.
For those of you who aren’t still away Swimming Club starts up again this Saturday (the 16th of Jan). And what better way to start back than with 100m Butterfly.
The butterfly is wedged in between a 50m Freestyle and a 200m Freestyle.
For those looking to work off the Christmas Cheer, squads are back.
Adult Squads are running Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays.
Junior squads are Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:00 am.
Squads start at 6:00 am on Monday and Wednesday and 5:30 am on Fridays for those early birds who want to get in some extra training before racing on Saturday.
Ashfield Amateur Swimming Club has announced a change of date for the 2021 Battle on the Bay swimming carnival.
It will now be held on Saturday 20th February 2021 between 2:30pm and 7:30pm at the brand new Ashfield Aquatic Centre.
The Battle on the Bay is a fun and competitive swimming carnival against neighbouring swimming clubs in the bay area, including Ashfield, Enfield and Leichhardt swimming clubs.
Further details will be provided in the new year. Make sure you save the new date in your calendars!
Just in case you were thinking about racing again this Saturday… please note that swim club is taking a break for the Christmas / New Year period. We’ll be back on Saturday the 16th of January in 2021 for the second half of the season (2021… I can’t believe we’re about to hit 2021. Where has my life gone?)
Thanks Santa and Perfetti Van Melle for the Chupa Chups
A big thanks to Santa for taking time out of his busy schedule to pop along to swim club last Saturday. All the kids appreciated your attendance.
The kids and a lot of adults also enjoyed the Chupa Chups. An even bigger thanks must go to the Hansen family and Perfetti Van Melle for donating the monster tin of 1000 Chupa Chups.
Squads are still running. Junior swimmers welcome at adult squads.
The Battle on the Bay is a swimming carnival competing with neighbouring clubs in the bay area. It was started by Drummoyne Swimming Club back in 2010 and is fun way for everyone in our club to race against swimmers in other local clubs.
This will be a nice opportunity to check out the newly renovated Ashfield Pool and have another crack at becoming the best performing swim club in the area.
The Battle on the Bay is always a fun afternoon so be sure to save this date in your calendar.
