If you are unsure which squad your child is best suited to, please attend the 7.30am class in the morning, or the 3:15pm class in the afternoon during Week 1 and our coaches will assess your child’s level and place them accordingly. As a general rule, Senior Squad is designed for older, more competent swimmers who have trained previously.
There will be no Learn to Swim offered in Term 4.
Club Nights
Friday Night Club Nights will resume on Friday the 6th of October (Week 1).
Opening night special offer: to welcome you back to the Shark Tank we will offering a free sausage sizzle and fantastic lucky door prize!
Our Club Nights are open to all swimmers from the community and are held between 5.30 and 7.00pm. These nights are for everyone – all levels of swimmers are catered for – with the emphasis on FUN! The children swim in events, graded by times with the aim of improving their own personal best. The distance ranges from 12 ½ metres to 100 meters, including all strokes.
The pool canteen is operated on club nights and will provide a BBQ, chips, drinks and ice-blocks for sale.
It is a great night, so please join us and have some fun! New families are welcome, and spread the word to anyone who is interested – come and try the first night for free!
