Australia Day
We hope you enjoyed the Public Holiday yesterday.
To celebrate Australia Day we have our annual Board Short Relay this morning. To get involved, pull on your favourite pair of board shorts at the end of the usual races and we will stick you in a team.
Merrylands SwimFest
There is now just 1 week left until entries close – enter today so you don’t miss out!

See the SwimFest section of our website for all the details.
Merrylands SwimFest Jobs
We need lots of people to help run the meet. There are many niche jobs we need to fill.
Announcer: Do you like the sound of your own voice? Then the job of announcer at the meet could be for you!
Medal Table: Fancy a bit of bling? Then maybe a spot on the medal table distributing medals is your thing.
Marshal & Check Starter: Swimmers need help getting to the correct lane at the correct time. These positions are critical to the meet running smoothly.
Recorder: Can you handle numbers? The recorders process the results and relay entries for the meet.
Do any of these sound like you? If so, please volunteer when asked or nominate to assist with this role or any other role you are interested in here.
Ian Wilson is the Meet Director for the meet and will be coming to see what you have signed up for.
Club Uniforms
Need a hat, a new shirt or a pair of shorts before the SwimFest? Order them online here.
Seen a problem? Get it fixed
Seen something at the pool that needs fixing? Let Council know of any issues by using the Snap Send Solve mobile app which can be found at: www.cumberland.nsw.gov.au/snapsendsolve
Learn to Swim
Learn to Swim resumes on Saturday, 3rd February. Kylee is on the lookout for people to help teach our program. If you are 15 or over and interested, please speak to Kylee Murray for more information.
School Carnivals
Do you have a friend that needs practice for their School Carnival? Get them to sign up for a Come & Try membership and they can give our club races a go!
