Greetings Leatherjackets!
Just to let you know, we will have our first meeting of the year this Tuesday night after training in the cafe area!
An update on some activities:
1. In case you missed it, Craig (our President) had some misfortune at work and ended up in hospital a few weeks ago, and will be out of the swimming action for some time.
2. Welcome our new coach - Craig! Since he is unable to swim, himself, he is the ideal candidate to stay on the pooldeck directing proceedings!
3. Liz is off to Italy to cycle around for charity. If you haven't been able to donate on-line, bring a few dollars along to the meeting on Tuesday to support Liz in her challenge!
4. Carnivals and State Champ's - Campbelltown and Blacktown carnivals down. State Champ's coming up this weekend. We have four swimmers entered and both a Freestyle and Medley relay team entered - the first time we have done both at one Champ's. Good luck!
If you haven't received it, I have included below the first on-line Masters email to have a look through.
See you in the pool!
Sean

However, the pool and air temperatures in the pool will be comfortably warm, and you will be only a few minutes walk from accommodation and restaurants in the city. After the competition there are lots of beautiful places to explore, especially if you hire a car, but also by bus.

| | ![]() Pool competitions are almost pointless without someone recording the swimmers' times. This role, Timekeeper, while the first rung on the ladder of technical officials, is without doubt the most important. Without timekeepers there are no times and without times the only results can be placings. Without timekeepers there would be no Top 10 and no Aerobics.
