Speedo Sprint Series

The club has entered 15 swimmers for the Speedo Sprint series. This is a state-wide event and in the past the club has done very well in it. The format is regional heats which, for our club, will be held at the pool at the University of NSW on Saturday at 3.00 pm The first 3 place getters will qualify for the finals which will be held at SOPAC, Homebush on March 19th.

Swimmers can only race in this, and all race meetings, if they are paid up members of the club.

Good luck to all our swimmers!

Club BBQ

The barbeque will again be operating on Friday nights from 6.45pm, with the complimentary champagne, beer and wine again available to all parents and support crew. Remember that brothers and sisters of the swimmers have free entry so they can enjoy all the facilities of the centre, and have a delicious dinner, while the Race Squad battle out the point score placings!

Gym Membership

A reminder that the centre has a very modern, fully equipped gym, and they have agreed that exclusively for our club there is now a 25% discount on ANY gym membership for Swim Club members' immediate family.

Membership fees

Membership fees for 2006/07 are now well overdue and swimmers who are not financial need to join or renew to swim this Friday or in this weekend's Speedo series. This is particularly the case for the swimmers participating at the Speedo Sprint series this weekend as it is an external meet. There are very serious insurance issues if a swimmer races in our club without being financial.

$50 is club membership for the full year to September 30, of which $26 goes to Swimming Aust for insurance and registration. If a swimmer has a mishap while competing or training for the club, and is not a financial member of the club then that swimmer is uninsured. It is in everyone's interests that the membership dues are paid. Accordingly we have to insist that each swimmer is paid up before being allowed to compete. Go to the website at www.cpswimclub.info to download the application form from the fees page. Failing that see Nish - the man behind the desk at race nights.
