Save the dates for upcoming Swim Club events

Keep an eye out and save the dates for the following swim club activities:

Presentation Night


Our Season 2020-2021 Presentation night will be held at the Concord Bowling Club (next to Concord Library) on the evening of Saturday the 29th May 2021.

The night promises to be a lot of fun. We’ll have:

  • Trophies and awards
  • Food by Ribs N Burgers
  • Dessert contest (judged by our wonderful sponsor Gladys Mallqui of Veeva Property Group, Life Member and dessert connoisseur James Simmons and a special guest judge who we can’t reveal yet. James for one will be taking bribes ahead of the contest)
  • A jumping Castle for the kids
  • Monster raffle and prizes
  • Games for adults and kids
  • DJ

Invitations with full details will be sent out ahead of the event.

Winter Swim Club

Thanks to everyone who completed the survey about winter swimming at swim club a few weeks back. The results showed that too much swimming is never enough for DSC members.

So, we plan on running 4 x winter swim club meets over the winter period.

As with previous years Winter Swim Club meets are likely to be held at the Riverview College Indoor Pool on Sunday afternoons and will be held once a month from June through to September.

More details will be provided once available.

New Club Constitution

The Club committee has been reviewing our constitution – which is now a little out of date and overdue for a revamp.

David Parker has kindly done the pro bono work and drafted a new document for us.

We’ll be circulating a copy to all members ahead of the Presentation Night which will also act as an extraordinary general meeting.

Members will have the opportunity to vote on adopting the constitution at the event *.

Annual General Meeting

Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday the 23rd August 2021. All members are encouraged to attend and participate.

If you are interested in joining the committee or helping out with the running of the club please feel free to contact Adrian Bell on 0424 561 831 in advance of the AGM.

More information about the proposed new constitution and the AGM will follow.

* voting on the constitution may or may not be a pre-requisite to obtaining dessert 🙂
