BI-WEEKLY UPDATE

Next Race Night this Friday 11 November at 6.30pm

Why not bring a friend?

Try and make sure you get to the centre by 6.15pm to warm up and register by 6.25pm. As always, the BBQ usually gets going by 6.45pm for hungry swimmers and their family.

Thank you Scots Swim Team!


The first of a series of planned school invitational meets was held last race night. The swim team from Scots Prep School attended and we had some fantastic racing with great results. The racing was followed up by a fun balloon race and a relay against the parents to wind up the evening; great to see the kids get shown a lesson in the pool by the old blokes!

Computerised results


We have a computerised race system which gives us all of the results straight after the meet concludes. These and other results are published on our website and can be viewed at Results.

Lane Cove Invitational Meet

We took 13 swimmers from our swim club to race in the Lane Cove Spring Invitational meet. It was the first of the external meets and at 13 racers this is the biggest contingent ever sent by the club. The results can be viewed on the website or by clicking here .

28 October 2005 Swimmers of the Meet

Congratulations to Popy Aldous, Kelsey Gerbec and Miriam Carr who all scored a perfect 12 points by getting 3 PB's each. We had to average the size of the PB's for each swimmer to come up with one winner and that was Kelsey Gerbec with a whopping 17% decrease in her times from the previous swims.

It was even harder in the boys with William Bartlett, Aidan Brown, Sammy Annear, Patrick Carr and Luke Aldous all scoring a perfect 12 as well. It again came down to the best percentage decrease in times which went to Aidan Brown with an impressive 14% of PB's. Each swimmer earned valuable points towards the current seasons "Swimmer of the Year" award - well done ! Check out the scores to date on the web or by clicking here.
