Welcome to 2018/2019 season of Graceville Lightning Swim
Club. Thank you for joining us. We are looking forward to the season being
social and watching our children improve their swimming over the term. Our first night of swimming will commence at
6.00pm on Friday 12th of October. If you are new to our club, then
please note that our canteen and bar is cash only.
If you registered as a swim club member by Monday 8th
of October, you would have already received an email from our race secretary
with details of the races your children have been entered in. Please read this carefully and respond if
there are any changes including:
·
The races your child/children will be participating
in
·
If you are unable to attend
If were not a financial member by Monday 8th of
October, then your child is not eligible to swim this week, however, you are
welcome to join us for a BBQ and drinks at our wonderful canteen. After our
first week, your child will be eligible to swim at any Friday evening, so long
as your membership is up to date.
Given our unpredictable weather this week, I just wanted to let
you know what we do in the event of unfavourable weather. If just rain is forecast, we will continue
with swim club, unless the safety of our swimmer and volunteers is at risk. With regards to storm activity, we will
monitor the weather closely on the day and make a call regarding swimmer safety
and volunteer safety closer to commencement of swimming. At any time during a
swim meet, if swimmer safety is at risk, we will cancel the event. Please note,
any announcements with regards to cancellation of a night will be put on our
website.
If you are new to the club, make sure you find our Junior
Dolphin representative Carleen who will be able to point you in the right
direction at your first club night. Or alternatively if you have any questions,
you can email Carleen on jnr_dolphin@gracevillelightning.org.au.
This year we are also offering exclusive Graceville
Lightning Swim wear to our members. The range has been updated, the quality is
good and the price is great. Girls one
piece swimmers are available in all sizes for $24.00 and the boys swimmers are available
in all sizes for $20.00. Please check out our merchandise stall near the
canteen.
Finally, please note our swim club is licensed and we
support the responsible service of alcohol. We have certain conditions that we
must adhere to retain our liquor licence each year. Failure to do this will
results in cancellation of our licence.
Please be respectful of our volunteers and support the responsible
service of alcohol.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday night.
