SwimFest Saturday is here!
The Merrylands SwimFest is on today. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered for a role – especially those members who are just coming along to help.
If you haven’t nominated to help, please see Ian Wilson to do so.
We need assistance setting up for the meet, so we are asking that you arrive at the meet by 12:30pm to assist with the setup.
There is lots of setup work to do including:
- Shelters
- Chairs & Tables
- Lane Ropes
- Timing Equipment & Touchpads
- Flags and Banners
- BBQ and Food preparation
Then it all needs to be packed away again at the end. Please make sure you help.
Warm-up starts at 1:30pm with the meet starting at 2:30pm. All the information you need including the timeline and meet program is here. Swimmers need to be ready for the land warm-up at 1:15pm.
Alison and the Club Captains will be organising the swimmers to ensure they get to their races on time. We have 26 swimmers competing in 120 individual events and 4 relays. Relay teams are listed in the Meet Program.
Lastly, don’t forget your club uniforms, hats, sunscreen, healthy snacks and drink bottles and good luck to all our swimmers!
No Club Races - Saturday, 18th February
If you are at the pool reading this at 7am and wondering where everyone is, it is because there are no club races this week.
Club Races will be back on 25th February.
