The results for Saturday 16th January 2021 have been published here.

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.

Hope to see you there!

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.

Squads lanes are 1 and 2.

It would be good to see a few more swimmers on Mondays and Wednesdays in particular.

Short break for the holidays

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.

Junior and Adult squads are still running for those who want to keep training.

Junior squads will run until Thursday the 22nd and will resume on Tuesday the 5th of January.

Adult squads will run throughout the holiday period.

Junior swimmers who want to do some extra laps in preparation for school carnivals should feel free to join adult squads over the holidays.

Be sure to check pool opening times on public holidays.

Ashfield Amateur Swimming Club has confirmed they will host the 2021 Battle on the Bay Swimming Carnival on Saturday the 20th of February between 14:30 and 19:30 [Note: Date changed on 24 Dec 20].

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.

More details to follow in the new year.
