24.01.2022 Following on from our previous (exciting) post we need to add further details specifically for parents considering our entry level DOLPHINS group for their child. Please note that for the safety of your children and their coach(s) this group is STRICTLY limited to 10 children. First in best dressed! **Each child must be at least 5 years old by 1st November 2020. ... **Each child must be confident to put their head under water. **Each child must be able to get them selves safely back to the edge of the pool if (for example) they accidentally fell in without the use of floatation devices. **Each child (or children if siblings) must have a responsible adult poolside with them for the entirety of their session (40 minutes). We thank you sincerely for your understanding.

22.01.2022 UPDATE: Cancelled due to low numbers . Entries close 8th January 2021. More details including registrations found on SwimCentral!

18.01.2022 We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes getting a lot of paperwork signed sealed & delivered for the upcoming season (assuming of course there IS one) - BUT - once again we find ourselves in desperate need for some new coaches!! All Coaches and Clubs are reminded that it is a requirement of SwimmingSA that all Coaches that work within our clubs are currently accredited to the qualification level relevant to the swimmers they are coaching. For more details & Course/Workshop...s dates visit the SwimmingSA website PLEASE consider volunteering your time to train, and coach, one of our 4 groups! We currently offer Jnr Dolphins (aged 5+), Jnr Intermediates (approx. aged 8+), Snr Intermediates (approx. aged 12+) and Seniors. The club will cover the cost of your training - in exchange for a 2 year commitment to coaching and being present for more than 50% of the trainings. At this stage, the 2 Jnr groups are the most in jeopardy. PLEASE direct any enquires to our committee members: Shane, Di, Megan, Danielle and Anna. https://sa.swimming.org.au//coac/upcoming-coaching-courses

15.01.2022 Merry Christmas from the Orroroo Swimming Club!!

13.01.2022 Come down and see us in action!

10.01.2022 Despite a chill factor of "flipping heck its cold" we had a great turn out tonight for our first training sessions!! Well, let's say a great turn out for the Dolphins & Inters .... a little more sluggish for the Seniors.... but I'm sure that will improve with the weather. Welcome to the 2019/2020 season everyone! GO ORCAS!!!!!

08.01.2022 Russia's Olympic swimmer Yulia Efimova demonstrates how you can 'swim' at home!

08.01.2022 Could members of the Orroroo/Carrieton District community please help us out greatly by completing this short, anonymous survey to help improve our club for future swimming families? The survey statement is: "I'm not a member of the Orroroo Swimming Club because...." and we welcome EVERYONE to participate irrespective of your age or swimming ability. Thank you!!... Megan. OSC Club Secretary https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7VJDYZ5

05.01.2022 Oh dear! So close yet so far! As a result of todays' Covid-restriction announcements we are sadly unable to start our training sessions tomorrow night as planned. Members, please keep an eye on our club Facebook page for updates. Fingers crossed tightly for a successful season start soon!!

05.01.2022 Orroroo Swimming Club trainings will start again on Tuesday the 12th of November, 2019. Our most junior group (aged 5 - 8 yrs) is FULL, however there are still opportunities for older swimmers aged 8yrs and above (and can swim a lap of the pool), to join our club and would be most welcome! Please approach a committee member if you would like more details: Shane Hooper, Di Scott, Megan Goehring, Danielle Gillies and Anna Hooper.

05.01.2022 HOORAY!!! We can officially announce there WILL be a swimming club season this year!! We will have a few ‘Covid related’ changes to how things are normally run at trainings and carnivals but hopefully things will go by without too much of a hitch. NEW SWIMMERS WELCOME!!! ... The first Carnival night for the season will be on Friday 27th of November at the Gladstone Swimming Pool. Therefore things are now happening very quickly!! Our Club trainings will commence next Tuesday 17th November from 5:15pm. Training times are still under review but for our first week at least they will be from 5:15pm for our Dolphins & our Juniors. And from 6pm for the Intermediates and Seniors. If you are keen to join us for the first time, or keen to re-join for another great year but have questions - please seek out a committee member (Shane & Anna Hooper, Danielle Gillies & Megan Goehring). PLEASE NOTE: Before ANYONE can get in the pool to train or compete they MUST be a fully signed up member via Swim Central. We ask that you join our Club Facebook page for more information on how to navigate swim central etc. Please note each swimmer must also have a 2020/2021 ORROROO Swimming Pool SEASON TICKET! Don’t forget that SPORTS VOUCHERS can be used if you haven’t already used this year and it will reimburse up to $100 for your primary school aged children. And now let the good times roll!! GO ORCA’s!!!!
