Update - Club Night January Being Rested
Like the rest of us, sometimes Club Night needs a chance to recover from seasonal frivolities and just go on a summer holiday.
You, however, are expected to show up on 11th January and do some good old-fashioned hard yakka and work off that Christmas pudding.

You'd better be quick!
Hi all
NZ Masters Games
If you plan to enter the swimming in the Masters Games but haven't done so yet, you'd better be quick. It's proving popular and at a recent news conference the organisers let slip that entries for swimming would probably close before Christmas (which is only 2 weeks away! Aarrgh!)
Monday Night Training Times
Just a timely reminder really, that on Monday evenings we can train an extra 1/2 hour until 8:30 pm. If you're training for the Masters Games, or anything else, it's a good opportunity to work on those skills, or even just add kms.

Club Night Results
Results from club night on 7th December are up if you want a squizz. There were 4 new records set. If you want some practice at going fast or just something different from the usual training then club nights may fit the bill. Club night for January will be delayed a week due to holidays and what not so the next one is on January 11th.
Swimmer of the Month
Congratulations to Min Yang who won this trophy for the month. Min suffered a terrible break to her hip some time ago but has made a truly amazing recovery. She got back in the pool as soon as she could, set herself some targets and has started racing again. Min raced at the recent Nationals and was part of the record breaking ladies relay team. A role model indeed!
Ocean Swim Series
I don't have all the results yet but it's shaping up to be a cracker season! Congratulations to Dave Donaldson and Avy Judelson who both claimed 2nd in the age groups in the recent Harbour Crossing. This was the first year the crossing went in the opposite direction.
Postal Swim
South City proved a force here also. I hope I've got this right but my memory might be fading. Avy and Lapo nabbed 1st place in both the 800 and 1500m events in their age group and Min gained 2nd place in the 800 and 1500 in her age group.
Xmas Brunch
This is only a week away! Yay for you. Boo for me coz I can't go. 18th December at 9.30 am over at the Homestead Cafe.
