Altona Swimming Club

It has been decided to postpone club this Wednesday (tomorrow) night (2nd) which the distance champs 1500m was to be swum.

The 1500m will now be swum the following Wed, 9th Nov, on the same night as the parent / Child handicap.

There will probably be only 1 heat of the 1500m, however if a second heat needs to be conducted we will program it with another club night also.

Parents - dust of your swimmers and come and enjoy a night of fun on Wed 9th with the parent (25m) / child (50m) handicap.

If a parent does not want to swim, come anyway, as we can pair children up, usually with an older swimmer so they can enjoy the fun also.

See you on Wed 9th.

Just a reminder about Christmas Breakup.

We have decided to hold it on Sunday afternoon so hopefully more families can attend.
