Club group lessons start next week on Tuesday 16th September

It was great to meet swimmers and families on registration night and assessment night this week.  Thanks to everyone who has their paperwork all filled in and to those who have paid their fees for the season.

Some squad swimmers still need to complete forms and to pay club membership and the competitive swimmer fee.  Rebecca will invoice squad fees.

All groups start their lessons on Tuesday next week.  
All half hour swimming lessons are from 6pm to 6:30pm
All one hour swimming sessions are from 6:30pm to 7:30pm

There may need to be some shuffling of groups and times to make sure we have children in the right places for their swimming level and next steps.

Please make sure your children are at the pool a few minutes before their session time to get fins and boards from the club boxes and to be ready to get in the pool on time so that we can make the most of each session.

Queenstown Early Bird Swim Meet - Saturday 4th October

This is a great local swim meet suitable for all levels of swimmers.  It would be great to take a big team of Cromwell swimmers over to Queenstown to support another local club at their annual meet.

There are races for all ages and levels of swimming including novices who are having a first go at racing.  We would love to see most of our winter swimmers coming along and having a go.

We can arrange transport via community van or car pooling to help to get swimmers to the meet.

Natasha will hand out entry slips to swimmers who attend winter swimming sessions this week.  If your child is able to go please put the slip into the mail box by the Swim Club notice board at the pool by Friday 12th September.

No late entries will be accepted

All swimmers need to bring togs along on Thursday at 6pm for assessment night.  We will take a quick look at their swimming so that we can sort them into groups.

We would appreciate payment on registration.

Club swimmers 1 hour sessions: $145

Squad swimmers need to complete registration forms and pay the $50 membership fee and $85 SNZ competitive swimmer fee.  Squad fees will be invoiced monthly based on squad membership.

NZ Short Course Champs results

Jack Harrison had a really good meet in Wellington last week.  He swam personal best times in 7 out of 8 swims and competed positively against the best swimmers in the country.  His best finish was gaining a finalist spot in the 400 IM.  He went into the final placed 10th and took 5 seconds off his time to improve his placing to 8th.  Back to training this week in preparation for South Island Champs and Queenstown Early Bird.
