From now on, doing slow open turns in freestyle will be a thing of the past. If you want to learn how to do new-fangled tumble turns at lightening speed then go to the Tech Tips page and you will find a set of excellent You Tube clips that give you step by step instructions. Pretty soon you'll be turning so fast that even Michael Phelps will be eating your bubbles. Thanks to Barry D for finding these clips.
The Race is On!
Yes it's race night again this Wednesday 4th May. It's 400's night so if you like swimming long then get thee along at 7pm. We shall be aiming to keep one lane free for general swimming, but if there are 20 of you in that lane, well, don't blame me for the congestion. If you don't want to swim we are quite happy for you to timekeep.
Dinner Is On Us (almost)
Remember to get your name down for the subsidised dinner at Spices Thai, Botany South, 7pm on 28th May. There's a set banquet menu and it's licensed and BYO wine. Check out the posting on 29th April for more details.
