Thankyou Race Committee

NSW Swimming has implemented an online entry system for all Carnivals. We are requesting

that our members please still submit all entries through the Race Secretary, Cherie Gregory, for the

reasons of being able to contact all of our members who have entered a Carnival should their be a

change to the details of this Carnival.

This way, the Race Secretary will be able to contact all involved to inform them of any changes

that may have occurred and you are not turning up to a cancelled event or at the wrong time.

We thank you for your co-operation with this matter.

A huge Thank you to Sar-

gents Pies for supplying

the lunch to feed the hun-

gry volunteers at our Open

Water Meet last Saturday.

“Swimmers under the age of 16 must have adequate su-pervision (by a person aged 16 or older) in attendance for the duration of Club night and carnivals”. Any swimmers

being identified in attendance at either a carnival or a Club night without adequate supervision, will not be allowed to compete until his/her parent/carer arrives to assume the

supervisory responsibility for that swimmer.

Orders are now being taken for Club shirts, Tracksuits, Jackets and Swim Parkas.

Another big Thank you to all

the families who donated

their time to help out on the

weekend at our Open Water

Meet. Your help was greatly

appreci-

ated.
