The club had a fantastic day visiting the Coogee Diggers Swim Club at Wylie’s Baths. We had a fantastic attendance and over 100 swimmers from both clubs took part.
The pool conditions were perfect and everyone enjoyed our host’s organisation and hospitality.
One of our relay teams won the prestigious Dover Straights trophy which was originally donated by Des Renford.
This was a 10 X 50Yds race with the closest to nominated time getting the prize.
The Open 10 a side relay side gave a credible performance, but were defeated by the Coogee team who were too quick for us.
After swimming our hosts provided a feast which was enjoyed by all.
Thanks to all our members who participated and made it such a success.
Congratulations Coogee

Despite weather forecast not being favourable the Diggers Shield Carnival proceeded. A great attendance of 90 people was fantastic considering the weather threat. Another successful carnival with our guest clubs contribution.
Special thanks to our members who worked tirelessly to support the night with Eric providing another great BBQ and Steve supplying Mushy Peas. We had one heavy shower during the first race but the rain largely held off for us.
Congratulations to Margaret McKeon from Kurranulla who won the 50M event(closest to nominated time).
The Diggers Shield Relay was won by the Cronulla RSL A team who narrowly won a closely contested event.
Thanks to all our members and visitors who made this another successful event.
The weather is holding off so the carnival is still ON.
Registration at 6.30 for a 7.00 start.
Age Championships were combined with normal pointscore races. Good attendance saw some hotly contested races.
The pointscore trophy prizes donated by Ian Bourke were for the 50M freestyle closest to time.
The winners were Christine Parrish (F) and Steve Harper(M).
Our swimming club raised $1516 for the Bushfire Appeal which reflected some great generosity from our members.
Diggers Shield is on next Thursday Night and we expect a large contingent of visiting clubs to visit us on the night.
next week is the start of Club Championships with 50M and 100M races scheduled.
