As in previous years a wide range of swimmers for boys and girls are available through Jodie Anderson. There are also quite a number of boys swimming shorts available from previous orders, these are in the swimming club colours and are offered at a reduced price. Please contact Jodie or drop in and see her at her office.

The committee would like to recognise the work of retiring President Lisa Leonard and also the massive contribution that Beryl Croker has made to the club over the last three decades. Beryl has worked tirelessly for years after her own children had moved on from swimming club, She has truly been an asset to the club as she is to the wider community.
