Better conditions, but with a sharp cold southerly breeze saw our swimming recommence after two weeks of cancellation due to weather.The prize events were the Joan Harper and Barbara Murphy 400M freestyle and the Lyn and David Bryan 50M freestyle.

Winners were Yasmin Denhi-Stalker and Bill Jury in the 50M, Paul Rugg and Elizabeth Whitcombe in the 400M.

Paul Rugg was .67 from his time. Elizabeth was 1.75 from her time.

Bill was .11 and Yasmin .26 from their 50M time. Congratulations to our winners of the day.

Perfect swimming conditions with no wind and a high tide. The prize event of the day was the 200M freestyle with Don Saunders the sponsor. Congratulations to Cheryl Poppett (Closest female) and Grant Conway(Closest male).

The RSL Swim Club was pleased to be able to hand over our annual “Fine Monies” to the Sailability Charity group. This not for profit organisation provides sailing experiences for the disabled and is a great cause. It is run by volunteers.Ian Bourke(RSL President), Martin Tabone (Sailability), Steve Harper and John Hennessy are pictured at a presentation function at the RSL Club. Well one to our members who presented themselves for fines due to various transgressions throughout the year.
