Firstly, a very Merry Christmas to all our club members. Wishing you all a relaxing time and happy holidays.
Here are the swimming times of the Christmas/New Year period:
Normal swimming Monday 23rd (tonight). There will be no swimming on Wednesday 25th December - in case you hadn't heard it is Christmas day and you really should have something else to do. Go to the beach if you really want a swim. There will be 'normal' swimming on Sunday 29th and Monday 30th. Some of our members swim more normally than others so take that as you like. On Wednesday January 1st we have 3 lanes from 5.45 pm to 6.45 pm for those who are sufficiently recovered from the night before. Sunday January 5th and onwards we are back to normal. In a nutshell....
Monday 23rd - Yes
Wednesday 25th - Seriously? Of course not!
Sunday 29th - Yes
Monday 30th - Yes
Wednesday 1st - Yes, 3 lanes from 5.45 to 6.45
Sunday 5th and onwards - back to normal
Famous Pat
If you were swimming in the Russell to Paihia swim on the 7th December you would have noticed Pat wearing a different coloured cap from everyone else and it had the number 3 on it. The cap was to really make him stand out and the 3 was because he was part of a very distinctive family; 3 generations of his family were taking part in the swims that day. Pat's daughter Helen and her twin sons were swimming along with Pat.
As many of you know, Pat's daughter Helen is a reporter for TV One so TV One were up there recording this auspicious event. The New Zealand Herald also took up the story and featured an article and here it is in full so you can read it for yourself. Pat, you are a superstar!
