Ian Thorpe visiting Drummoyne Swim Club for Laps for Life!

In recognition of the Club’s stellar fundraising efforts in the 2021 REACHOUT.com Laps for Life Challenge Ian Thorpe AM will be paying us a visit.

It’s been a while in the making with diary clashes and COVID restrictions but Ian will be joining us pool side on Saturday the 19th of March.

Please keep the date free and make sure you and the whole family come along.

All going well, we will be joined by representatives of the Boolaroo Speers Point Swimming Club who battled it out with us at the top of the Swimming NSW club fundraising leader board. Our two clubs spurred each other’s fundraising efforts on late into the night at the end of last March.

The Thorpedo

You may recall the Club was the most successful fundraiser amongst Swimming NSW Clubs last season and won a visit by Ian Thorpe… Well clashing commitments and COVID have delayed things but all going well, we will see Ian at the pool before the season is finished.

Week 13: Butterfly Championships and 100m/200m Freestyle Handicap races!

Hopefully you are all recovering well from last week’s medley mayhem. Because we know you can never get enough butterfly it’s time for some more… This week our races are:

  • Championship – 100m Butterfly
  • Note: This season we’re opening the U12 age group for record attempts. We have historic records but don’t race for these every year because U12 100M Butterfly is not a Championship event and there are no points on offer. If your kids are interested in having a crack at the record please nominate on the day.
  • 100m Freestyle, including Week 4 of the 100m Freestyle Special Events (Molly Wark & Les Henry Under 10’s and 35 and Overs)
  • 200m Freestyle

Laps for Life
