Upcoming Swim Meets
This month there are three major events our swimmers are competing in:
Speedo Sprint Series – Sunday 13th February
We have a team of 16 swimmers representing our club next Saturday at the Speedo Sprint Series being held at SOPAC.
Good luck to our team as they continue to prepare this week for the meet.
Merrylands SwimFest – Saturday 19th February
The entry limit for the Merrylands SwimFest was achieved during the week, so we expect a big turnout for the meet.
Entries remain open only for Merrylands Swimming Club members, but close today at 5.00pm. So don’t delay if you haven’t yet entered the meet. Do it as soon as get home from club races today.
The assistance of all of our swimmers parents & carers is important to ensuring we host a successful meet, so please see Graham to confirm you are available to assist on the day.
