Cook + Phillip Swim Club

The next race night is on Friday August 22

We are holding the clubs next monthly race night on Friday the 25th of July commencing at 6.30pm. There will be a barbeque operating. Please try and be there shortly after 6.00pm so as to facilitate registration and to give some time for the warm up. This will be an excellent opportunity for all those swimmers going to Tasmania (see below) to fine-tune their racing skills. The subsequent meet will be held on Friday, September 19.

Tasmanian Short Course Championship

The club had an extremely successful and enjoyable trip to the Tasmanian Short Course State Championships last year and will be going again this year. They will be held from Saturday September 6th to Monday the 8th inclusive and you will need to fly into Hobart on the previous Friday. Please let either David Marshall (davidm869@gmail.com) or Tim Mahony ( tmahony@bigpond.net.au ) know if you are interested in attending. The meet program is attached – you should discuss your swimmer’s entries with either Vlad (who is accompanying us) or with head coach Steve Garner. We need race entries finalised by Friday August 22nd

So far we have 12 swimmers signed up. The club’s cut-off date for entries is this Friday, August 15. As with last year you will need to make your own travel arrangements (fly in Friday the 5th and fly out in the afternoon of the 8th ) . The great thing about this meet (apart from the fun and the competition) is that Swimming Tasmania have waived any entry times for our squad ie there are no QT’s or qualifying times needed to participate. It is enormous fun for the whole family so put it in the diary and let us know!
