13.01.2022 UPDATE The committee would like to thank all of our members for their patience and support over the past 6 months. We can announce that as of Tuesday 25th August, our club nights will resume. The committee, in conjunction with Macquarie Fields Leisure Centre, have put together a COVID-19 plan which will be explained to all members on Tuesday night. We are strongly encouraging all members to register online through Swim Central. Entries open on Wednesday 6am and close Tuesd...ay (club night) at 5pm. If for some reason, you are unable to, please let us know. There will be no BBQ running at the moment. Whilst at the pool, all adults must practice social distancing. As per NSW Community Sport Guidelines, we are asking that one adult spectator per family to attend. We are asking members to be at the pool at 6:45pm for a 7pm start. There will be no warm ups or leisure swimming happening on the night. The only time children will be in the water, swimming, will be during their race. Children will be expected to be seated in between races. Our first swims for our shortened Winter season will be: Swim 1 - 25m/50m/100m Free Swim 2 - 25m/50m Breaststroke or 100IM Swim 3 - 25m/50m Back or 200m Free Looking forward to seeing everyone on the pool deck

12.01.2022 Looking forward to another great club night tonight! It was great to see so many adult swimmers last week - who wants to join in this week?? Don't forget that, although we still can't host our usual BBQ, we do have choccies and drinks for sale each week - all profits go back into the club. Why not treat yourself and your swimmers after a top effort tonight? ... Registrations close at 5pm!

12.01.2022 *Waits patiently*

12.01.2022 In what would have been our first night on deck for our Winter season, we hope that all of our families are doing well. We are sure club nights have been missed and hopefully we will be back in deck soon enough... Just some reminders: * Our AGM is currently postponed until we can meet again * We are still after a Race Secretary. Courtney is stepping down after the AGM. This is a vital role for our club nights. If you are interested in knowing more, please contact us. ... Stay safe, stay healthy and look after your loved ones.

09.01.2022 Club is still going ahead this week and until further notice. We will be guided by the decision of the Leisure Centre and the Council as to any closing down of the facilities. While facilities are open, club nights will continue. We do ask that if you are feeling unwell, or have had contact with anyone who is suspected or confirmed as having Covid19, to stay at home until you are in the clear.... See you at the pool!

08.01.2022 Hi All! We were able to hold our monthly committee meeting last night and have made the following decisions: 1. AGM ... ...is to be postponed until later in the year. A new date will be advised when we have more clarity on the current situation. 2. Club Championships As we were not able to complete the races, we have elected to cancel Club Champs for season 19/20. This is unfortunate but ultimately the fairest outcome for all competitors. 3. Presentation Night ...is not going ahead as scheduled for May. At the moment we are looking into options to postpone until later in the year. Again, we will have more clarity around this as this situation progresses. Please do not send through any payments for presentation night at this time. 4. Race Secretary Position .... is still open. For the moment, Courtney will continue with setting up for the Winter season but we do need a volunteer to fill this role as soon as possible please. Send us a message for more information or to put your hand up. if we have no race secretary, we are not able to run club nights. 5. Winter Season .... is due to start on 5th May. Right now, it is not clear whether the pool will be open or if we will be able to return to club nights. More information will be provided as it comes to hand. Please keep an eye on this page for updates over the coming months. We hope everyone stays safe during this time and look forward to seeing everyone back in the next couple of months.

08.01.2022 Hi Team! As most of you are aware from last week, we've been advised by Council that we can no longer have access to the pool up until 9pm on Tuesdays. This means that we MUST vacate the premises by 8pm each week. We've discussed a few different ways that we can still have the best possible club experience whilst working within this shorter time frame and have decided to trial the below changes to club nights. ...Continue reading
