Our next club night and final long course meet for the 22/23 season will be Friday 31 March.
Warm-up will be from 5pm and racing will commence at 5.30pm sharp. We expect to be finished by 7pm and will have a BBQ in the outdoor area following racing. We have added a small $2 entry fee per swimmer to contribute to the costs of the BBQ, the remainder is financed by the club.
This meet will be run long course (7 lanes), and times will be official.
This meet will include a 200IM and a 200m backstroke. There will be 25/50/100m in all strokes.

For those with times under 30 seconds (35 seconds for breaststroke) for 25m please give the 50m event a go.

Officials and timekeepers
As always, we cannot run club meets without volunteers! A duty roster is available via Team App or you can contact Amanda or Nic (wvscracesecretary@wodenswimclub.org.au) to let us know what you’d like to help out with. Most roles require no experience or training and if you’d like to try a new role, let us know in advance and we can organise some training and/or mentoring during the meet.
Age champion point score
This Calendar year we will run a new point score system to determine our age champions at the end of the year (to be awarded at the Christmas party). Details will be provided soon in a separate post, but you will be able to score points throughout the year, and will not need to swim at every club meet. Age will be based on calendar year – i.e. if you are turning 14 in 2023 you will be competing in the 14 years age champion.
