Our next meet of the Winter season will be a moring meet, Saturday 22 July.
A staggered warm-up will be from 7.30am and racing will commence at 8.30am. This meet will replace the regular Saturday morning training sessions. We expect to be finished by around 10am and will have a pancake breakfast at the conclusion of racing. The small $2 entry fee per swimmer is to contribute to the costs of the BBQ, the remainder is financed by the club.
This meet will be run short course (5 lanes swimmer numbers permitting), and times will be official.
This meet will include a 200m event in every stroke. If swimmers wish to swim a 200m event then they can only enter for 1 stroke as heats will be combined. There will be 25/50/100m in all strokes and a 100IM.
There is a maximum of 3 events per swimmer and you cannot enter a 25 and 50m event in the same stroke. For those with times under 30 seconds (35 seconds for breaststroke) for 25m please give the 50m event a go. Entries may not be accepted for 25m events if you are significantly under 30 seconds or have achieved a time under this mark more than once.
All Masters swimmers are also welcome. If direct entries through Swim Central aren’t working, please do a manual entry through the Club Night Coordinator.
We have added a special 50m freestyle event for our Masters and parents. While the Masters swimmers (or parents) may enter any event thought they might like an event where they can hone their racing skills before being pitted against younger swimmers.

- 1 Mixed 100 Breaststroke
