That's a Wrap!!!

Before I forget - the backstroke clinic starts next Monday so if you want to be on it but haven't let me know yet please do so pronto.

North Island Champs Done & Dusted
They were very successful weren't they? Here is why:
  • A very hard working committee who knew what to do, how to do it and quietly and efficiently got it done
  • Counties Manukau officials who mysteriously (or not) turned up and did a truly fabulous job. They don't get paid by the way, they do it because they love it.
  • All you wonderful club members, family members and friends who turned out in force as volunteers: marshaling, timekeeping, registering, cooking and taking care of refreshments, recording, running, announcing, lap counting, photographing (David is still tirelessly working on our behalf uploading photos to our Flickr account while we are resting), providing spot prizes and, of course, cheer leading.
YOU are what made it happen. So from every swimmer who attended - THANK YOU you are AMAZING!

The Good News
This meet was successful in terms of results also. Virtually everyone swum the swims of their lives with many, many PB's being achieved. For the club, as far as NZ records were concerned 2 individual ones were broken and one was equalled (which I'm confident will be recognized), and 3 relay records were broken. Suffice to say there were a lot of smiley faces for all swimmers achieving PB's and records.

Now The Other  News
If you've been enjoying Speedwork Monday's.........sorry folks but it's noses to the grindstone now. Ocean swims are around the corner and for the next month the focus will be on endurance.
