Club Swim Meets
Club swim meets will be held every second Friday at the Kirwan Aquatic Centre. Please check our Events Calendar for exact dates.
- Warm up for Friday will commence at 6.00pm with the first race starting at 6.30pm
Swimmers may swim up to five races with only one distance of each stroke permitted, an exception to this rule is freestyle races. Example: If you swim 50m Fly, you cannot swim a 25m Fly.
Nominations must be submitted by 5pm of the Wednesday prior to the club swim via one of the following methods:
- Email to the TBSC email address
- Text the Club Registrar (Trica Randall ) on 0411 093848
All events will be run under the one start rule - this means if you false start, you will be disqualified.
The club will be seeking help from parents each club swim. The BBQ and Canteen operate for your convenience at every Club Swim. They are a service to the swimmers, their parents and guests. We try to keep prices down to encourage families to come to club nights. Please remember that the people cooking and serving you are parents who are volunteering their time.
If due to inclement weather a club swim is cancelled, it will be rescheduled to a later date. If you wish to check if the club swim is on notification will be on the Club web page and Facebook Page.
Reminder: the Club requires 2 time keepers per lane for Club Swims – your help is required.
