24.01.2022 Dear Members, On advice from the council website and from numerous government and medical bodies, the committee have decided the best course of action to keep our members safe is to postpone the annual presentation day, to a date still to be determined. We understand this will be disappointing but please, due to the uncertainty do not bombard us with questions about "when", we will let you know in due course when we have re-scheduled. Can you pick up your trophy/award separat...ely? The answer is NO. We will inform you when we have a clearer picture over the next few weeks. We all must continue to be vigilant and play our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect vulnerable members of our community, including the elderly. Please look out for each other and to follow the medical advice. Kirsten Norton President Riverstone Dolphins R.S.L Youth Swimming Club Inc.

Only 1 Parent to fill in the dependents on their form (Swimmers and non Swimmers) ALL adult swimmers are to sign in using the code.... We need to know exact numbers weekly for COVID-19 Regulations, if they are incorrect, we will be shut down. ALL Swimmers will still need to be marked off as usual under the Rotunda. If late, they need to be marked off at the recording table.

A few days ago we meet with council and we now have some information that means we have confirmation we will have a season.

We will have more details in the near future and we will email information to members, so please check you emails over the next week.

08.01.2022 Riverstone Dolphins Club Swimming Club So, you are thinking of becoming a Dolphin? The Dolphins season in 2020/21 will be very different to previous years due to Covid19 Restrictions... Riverstone Dolphins RSL Swimming Club operates between October to March, our pool closes over winter. This year we could be swimming at Riverstone and Blacktown for part of the season due to pool open dates not . Our club differs to others because we are more relaxed about swimming and training, we are more about getting kids of all ages and abilities involved in swimming and encouraging them to improve what they do every week. We are family orientated, with swimmers from 2 to 17 , seniors and veterans. We have competition nights on Thursday from 6:30pm to approx. 8:30pm. (this will be 7.30 -9 at Blacktown) Swimmers are in races with other swimmers of similar times and abilities not matter their age or gender. Swimmers are allowed to compete in 3 swims per night. Our baby dolphins swim 12.5m in 2 events. We cover all four strokes in 25m, 50m and 100m. 200m and 400m freestyle and a 200m Individual Medley. (Some distances will not be offered at Blacktown) At the end of the season we do have a 4 week Championship event were swimmers compete against their own age and gender. This is not compulsory but most swimmers want to compete. We are not holding any training programs this year, due to the uncertainty of the location of our home pool this season We are affiliated with the RSL Youth groups and we do have 4 qualifying meets to gain selection to the State RSL Championships. Swimmers can also join Swimming NSW and compete in other meets at NSW affiliated clubs. (We hope this can still occur, it will be dependant on the Public Health Orders.) This should answer most questions, but if you have any other questions please contact us on [email protected]. Registration will open on 15th September. So keep an eye on this page for location, dates and times.

08.01.2022 Season 20/21 For this club to survive into the future, there is a need for more people to take on roles big or small on the committee.

We ask all members to consider how they can help, the AGM will be held shortly and all members will be welcome to come along and apply for a position of they feel they can help.... 2020 AGM. Due to government restrictions we may have to postpone the scheduled date of 7th June 2020. Notification of a new date will be sent to all members when restrictions allow.
