21.01.2022 Good Morning Families, It is great to see so many interested in going down and competing in Adelaide. We have a team of 27 swimmers heading down. We do understand that a lot of swimmers are going down by themselves however we still need to pull our weight as a club. Due to this Swimming SA has asked us to provide 2 x inspector of turns each session. You don’t need to be qualified to do this all you need is to watch and make sure swimmers are touching the wall. If you can hel...p out please let me know ASAP what session and if you have a working with children’s card and you will need to complete a COVID-19 training and upload the certificate to swim central (if you send it to me I can do it for you) which takes 10min https://www.health.gov.au//covid-19-infection-control-trai . If you don’t have a working with children card we will work with you to obtain one. Thank you, Tim Few Head Coach Darwin Swimming Club
