Club Races and Learn to Swim classes on Saturday, 6th December have been cancelled as Merrylands Swimming Centre is closed due to contamination of the water as a result of vandalism.

Championships and the round of the Relay Competition will be postponed until a later date.

It is unclear at this stage how long the centre will be closed for.

More details will be published as they come to hand.

It is unclear if Merrylands Pool will be open for training on Monday afternoon.

If the centre will not open, we have organised for training to be held at Wentworthville Swimming Centre instead (corner of Dunmore Street and Cumberland Highway, Wentworthville).

Squad Members will be contacted as soon as we hear what is happening with the pool so please check the website (www.merrylandsasc.asn.au) and your email before leaving for training on Monday afternoon so you know where to go.

If for some reason you are not able to attend training if it is on at Wentworthville instead of Merrylands, please let us know so we have an idea of the number attending.

If training is on at Wentworthville, pool entry fees remain the same however, please tell them that you are a member of Merrylands Swimming Club when you enter if you are not using a club multiple entry card for pool entry. There will also be no land training on if we are at Wentworthville so training will finish at 6:45pm for the Junior Squad - all other groups will be at the normal times.
