Special Nights
Club Championships are held late in Term 1 -- compete for places in age-based events and perhaps even become Age Champion.
Presentation Night awards the winners from the Club Champs.
Reciprocal inter-club meets with Sherwood Sharks give us the chance to compete against some new swimmers.
Nominations and Timekeeping
Parents use the Swim Club Connect App each week to nominate their swimmers, selecting which races to participate in, view race schedules and week to week results. You will need to download (or update) the Swim Club Connect App to be ready for the new season.
Free and Assisted swims do not require nomination
Parent help is required to time keep using the app. Recorded times are used to seed next weeks heats and can be seen in app to track swimmers' improvement.
Food and Drink
BBQ, drinks and snacks are available.
Thanks to our sponsors by Andrews Meats Indooroopilly and Miette's Bakery
Parent volunteers will be rostered to assist with the canteen and BBQ.

Thank you to our main sponsors for this season:
Andrews Meats Indooroopilly and Miettes Bakery, we can't recommend them highly enough!
Don't miss the wonderful meat tray raffles.
Our BBQ produce wouldn't taste so good if it wasn't for the donated bread and rolls from Miettes.
