Make a Donation

Our partnership with the Australian Sports Foundation allows supporters to make tax-deductible donations to the club.

The Committee this week decided to make a major equipment purchase, a set of Wylas Beamatouch packs. The devices allow our club to become self-sufficient with the use of the recently acquired touchpads from Swimming NSW.

This is a significant purchase by the club and demonstrates how donations made can assist in making these kind of equipment purchases.

If you would like to make a donation ,or know someone or a business who would like to then click on the link below.

Thankyou to everyone who has made a donation since this partnership commenced. We appreciate your kind support.
