October Race Results, Swimmer Of The Month, November Freestyle Clinic

It's all happening isn't it.

October races might have been a little while ago but the results were worth waiting for. A bunch of new records were posted and times were quick quick quick. 5 men's and 4 ladies records were broken. Check out the results on results pages and records on records pages. Where else would they be?

Swimmer of the Month was also worth waiting for. In fact we have been waiting 6 months for this one. Our very own magical Mike Harrison was selected earlier this year to compete for good old NZ at the WORLD triathlon champs. The long awaited event finally came around in August and a very excited Mike packed his bags and escaped the New Zealand winter for some Canadian sunshine. If you followed his blog you will know how well he did. Great job Mike, we are proud of you!

The wooden spoon has been on short hiatus but was given out this month to none other than.........me! For getting things back to front, or was that front to back. I'm still confused.

The excitement never ends - see below:

***NOVEMBER FREESTYLE CLINIC***

We are looking to run another swim clinic with the assistance of Thomas Ansorg. This will be a FREESTYLE clinic, aimed at technique and efficiency. The clinic is limited to 20 people (only Masters swimmers from South City) and the club will pay 50% of your tuition fee. We are waiting to confirm a few things but the likelihood is it will be a 2 hour clinic, with 30 minute debrief, and you will need to pay $30. This is really excellent value.

We need to get 20 swimmers, and lock in the date so we can get the pool time. The available dates are:

- Sunday 2nd Nov
- Sunday 9th Nov
- Sunday 30th Nov

Start time approx. 6.45am in the water at Lloyd Elsmore.

If you are interested, please talk to, or email Giles (gileswalker@rocketmail.com) with your date preference - if it makes it easier please list only the dates you can make, and then your preference. We will move with a majority vote. Remember first come first served.

(Just for those interested in knowing about date clashes, the Russell to Paihia State Ocewn Swim is Saturday 22nd hence the Sunday 23rd date is being excluded.)
