Month: October 2022

Swim central is now open for nominations for Club Night 5 – 4 October 2022.

We all love the BBQ on Friday nights – the burgers are selling out quickly and everyone is loving the new burgers! 

To be able to continue to offer this, we do need the BBQ positions filled.  

A decision has been made by the committee that if the BBQ volunteer positions are not filled, we will only be able to run a sausage sizzle.  The sign up is below, please do click on the link and see where you can help out.  The BBQ is a great way to meet new members and helps us to foster the community within our Club.

Hi Parents 

We have a large number of swimmers swimming this Sunday at the CJ’s Prep Meet. 

The timeline has changes – the Junior session now starts at 8am. The senior Session will start at 12.30pm.

TIMELINE

ENRTY LIST

PROGRAM

Doors for the first session will open at 6:45am for a 7am warm up and the 25m pool will be available all day for warm up and warm down.

There is a timekeeping roster – please sign up here –  https://signup.com/go/bJTVhZz

I don’t have the entry list to check, but if anyone is swimming the 800m or 1500m events, they need to provide 2 timekeepers and a lap counter for their lane.  If we have swimmers in these races, I will add those positions to th Sign Up Sheet. 

There will be no canteen facilities available due to the on-going construction at the Centre, however there will apparently be coffee and a sausage sizzle.  Space will be limited due the redevelopment of the Centre.  We will try and take a Jets Tent for shade for our members, if there is going to be space.

Entry to the Centre will be in Zahel Street due to the resurfacing of the car park. 

Regards

The first couple of Club nights we have been running freestyle and backstroke first, so that our little club members, who may not be used to staying up on a Friday night can get home as quickly as possible. Now that they’ve had a few club nights to adjust, next week we will go back to the usual rotating order. 

We look forward to seeing you at 6pm on pool deck for Club Night on Friday night.

A number of upcoming meets have been loaded into the TeamApp and website calendars. 

Our upcoming targeted meets are:

23 October CJ’s LC Prep Meet

Other meets are at swimmer’s discretion. 

Swimmers who are old enough for Qld Champs or Age Nationals will be chasing qualifying times. Swimmers old enough for School Sport (aged 10 in 2023) should be looking to get their times sorted for the events they would like to nominate for at Regionals. Times for events over 50m will be hard to get in Jan, as it will be Sprint Season.
