Club News To Start The Month

Race Night is on this Wednesday 5th October at the usual time of 7pm. Events for this round include 25 backstroke, 50 butterfly, 100 breaststroke and 200 any stroke, including IM.

I am now accepting nominations for SOTM. Not up with the play on the the latest acronym? SOTM stands for Swimmer Of The Month. If there is someone that you feel is deserving of this trophy then please email me at deryn@performancemarketing.co.nz and tell me who you think should get this award and why. Don't stress though, it's pretty casual and the nominee doesn't have to have broken 6 world records or anything like that. Nominations by 5pm Tuesday 4th please. There is the wooden spoon to potentially be given out too so if you know of something that's just a little daft that someone did then you can slip me that info too.

We also have some special people having birthdays. They are: Christine Gill, Carol Gray, Adam Jaidin, Heather Legg, Cameron Ormsby and Peter Young so a big round of applause to these folk.

The ocean swimming season is about to kick off in full force but it's not too late to go to Taupo for the Taupo Masters Spring Fling on 15th October. Fiona is going and would love company so have a chat to her if you are thinking of a pool event before Xmas. Otherwise, get your wetsuits out of the closet and check it still fits because here's what's coming around the corner:
13/11/11 - State Ocean Swim Series, Harbour Crossing
27/11/11 - ACM Harbour Swim 1, Herne Bay Swim
11/12/11 - State Ocean Swim Series, Paihia Classic
11/12/11 - ACM Harbour Swim 2, Chelsea Sugar Swim

Last but not least, if you haven't been to any of Gary Hollywood's coaching sessions yet and you are keen on learning breaststroke he is about to commence the breaststroke sessions. If you want to learn more then contact me on the email above and I'll add you to the mailing list.

That's probably enough for one posting.
