August Notices

August Birthdays
I'm a bit late aren't I? Someone should sack me. Our birthday babes for August are: Pat Castles, Barry Cribbens, Kevin Fergusson, Janet Laing, Druanne Plank, David Walker and Ivo Pabbruwe. Happy birthday you lot, we all hope it's a goody.

Manukau Masters Skins
Entries for this close on 18th August. That is very soon. This is a fun meet and you only have to drive to Sykes Rd in Manurewa to take part.

Swim Smooth
For those of you who haven't discovered Swim Smooth yet, it is a fantastic web site full of great swim tips including technique and training. It's geared largely at open water swimmers and triathletes, meaning the information is freestyle based and will help more with swimming long than short. Once a week they send out a useful tip by email. If you want to sign up to receive the email tips go here: http://www.feelforthewater.com/
