The first race night of the year has been held and 27 swimmers splashed their way up and down the pool. There were plenty of records tumbling throughout the evening. Results and records have now been posted on the records and results pages.
A few of you may notice that your times haven't been posted or that you have question marks next to your times. This is because you broke World Records by huge margins for your age for the event swum. We suspect a problem with the stopwatch, so apologies for that; or should we say...Congratulations on your World Record!!!
February Birthdays
We have another round of birthdays so hands together for these people:
Christine Fergusson, Shirley Cartwright, Anne Faulkner, Kath Barclay, Mark Clavey, Mike Harrison (the BIG one - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha), Deryn McGregor (also big one but still 5 days younger than Mike), and rounding off the month, Maree Kilkolly. Big happy's to these folk.
Katikati Swim Meet
Last month Fiona G and Tyrone C went to Katikati for their annual swim meet. They returned covered in glory. Tyrone even won the 'boaster' award for his butterfly. If you want to know how you win a boaster award, just ask Tyrone and he will give you instructions.
And Now A Message From Our Sponsor......
Actually we don't have a sponsor but we do have a committee and the following is a suggestion from our committee:
You may have noticed recently that participation at our training sessions has been great – several times we've had well over 40 swimmers. It has a down side, though. The lanes sometimes get busy enough to make it difficult for everyone to get a good training session.
We'd like your help to try a suggestion that's been put forward. Let's try to keep the number of swimmers in each lane to eight or less. All this means is that if there are more than eight swimmers in your lane, someone should try swimming in the lane either side. On occasions that will cause a ripple down effect, but it should help everyone get a good session.
Most people who change lanes have found the difference isn't as great as they feared and that the people in that lane are just as friendly ;-) Give it a try for a while and see how it goes.
