A club for people of all ages and abilities who enjoy swimming and socialising.
It is that time of year again when the Shirts and Skirts rivalry kicks into full gear.
Unfortunately, this year, the Shirts triumphed over the Skirts in what was a tight contest. It all came down to the final 50m where Gary Ballard and Deborah Jenkins battled to the finish line.
The Shirts were both first home and the closest to the tag times and won the trophy.
It was a slightly cooler Sunday morning down at Gunnamatta Bay but that did not stop our swimmers from competing in the Owen Coulter Memorial Double-Double. Congratulations to Gary Ballard and Lisa Hedge on their win.
Congratulations to Jack Kirkland for his win in the Les Cavanagh Memorial 50m event.
What a great turn out we had to the Swimming Club’s Christmas lunch.
Thank you to all the members who brought food and helped on the day, in particular to the Poppett’s for making such an amazing ham and to the Bertram’s for putting together a fantastic spread of raffle prizes.
Congratulations to Jon Jenkins, Elizabeth Whitcombe, Carol Daly, Ross Smith on their win the Cronulla RSL Christmas Pudding Relay!
What a beautiful Sunday morning down at Gunnamatta Bay. Congratulations to Graham Purchase for his win in the Nelson’s 100m event.
Congratulations to Jan Rapp on winning the Lisa Hedge 400m event!
What a lovely Sunday for a swim! Not too hot, not too cold and the water is finally starting to warm up. We had a great turn out from our members.
Congratulations to Judith McInnerney on winning the President’s 50m Trophy!
It was another beautiful Sunday morning and despite the bay being a bit crowded with outriggers and nipper events, we had an excellent turn out.
Congratulations to Joan Harper and Dave Dopson on winning the Henry Hutchins Memorial 100m trophy!
The Barbara Murphy / Joan Harper 400m proved to be a very popular event with 3 heats and 26 swimmers participating. Congratulations to Joyce Grounds and Bill Jury on their wins!
There were many fines handed out on Sunday including Paul Cavanagh who disgraced the club at the Melbourne Cup festivities by ripping the sole off his shoe before he even entered the Kembla Grange Racecourse and then seeking assistance at the first aid tent to “fix” his shoe!
We have finally started to have some beautiful weather and it looks like all the wetsuits have been packed up for the year (even Bill Jury’s!).
Congratulations to Ken Davidson who won the Bob McKenna Memorial 100m event, donated by Paul Cavanagh.
Barbara Murphy also celebrated her birthday on Sunday. Happy Birthday Barbara!
