Swim Team Final Event

Dear Parents and Swimmers,

Firstly, I would like to thank all the swimmers and parents for making last Saturday’s Kids triathlon a huge success. Congratulations to all those who competed and those that came in on Saturday to help. I couldn’t do it without you. Thanks to the team members that did the Nanjingman on Sunday. You were all fantastic.

Now down to the business at hand. This coming Friday May 30th is the fourth and final event of our NIS Sea Lions Club Championships Super Series of races –  the 50’s Splash and Dash. This will be our last event for the year and we are hoping to see some fast swimming – so be ready to go, go, go!!! 

All parents, family and friends are welcome, and we as usual would greatly appreciate any help in with the event – marshalling, back up time keepers, BBQ cooks and food servers.

The  schedule for the event will be as follows:

  •  Be at the pool by 3:10 for a team photo – it is important that all swimmers wear their new team shirts. Please see that they have them and that their name is written on them so they can be identified.
  • Races start at 3:20pm
  • Races finish at 5:00pm
  • BBQ until 5:30 pm
  • Awards ceremony in the theatre at 5:30 – 6:00pm
  • Finish – 6:00pm 

All times are approximate.

The awards will be as follows:

  •  Club champion awards for the top 3 swimmers boys and girls for each age group. This will be based on the points accumulated over the four club championships super series events. 
  • Team movie
  • Team awards that have been based on the whole season. 
  • Special event

We will be having a light BBQ just to refuel the swimmers after their races before the awards ceremony.  Anne and I will be providing home made sausage sandwiches for the BBQ. If you would like to bring some finger food such as chips, cookies, cakes, etc that would be great but please don’t feel that you need to. We won’t be supplying any drinks so please bring your water bottle. 

We look forward to seeing you all here.

Swimmingly,

The NIS Aquatics Team
