If you have always wanted to swim competitively, Merrylands Swimming Club coach Peter Johnston invites you to dip your toe in the water.
The club is having a Come 'n' Try Day for swimmers to see if they want to take the plunge into serious swimming, either at a club, or state competition level.
"We are looking for people who can swim a bit, but want to take that further and work up to competition swimming," Mr Johnston said.
Participants need to be able to swim at least 20m but stroke and style is not important.
A competitive swimmer for 20 years, Mr Johnston has been a coach at Merrylands for about four years.
He said some swimmers enjoyed the competition and could go all the way to state championships.
Some took part for social reasons in club competitions, he said.
The day is on September 14 at Merrylands Swim Centre and is free with pool entry but registration is essential.
