CLUB NIGHTS:

·     Monday nights, 7:30 - 9:30 PM.   Please arrive at 7:15 PM, and be ready to commence swimming at 7:30 PM sharp. Register at the table at the far end of the pool when you arrive, to ensure you are listed for the night’s swims.

·     Club nights consist of time trials, and usually includes stroke work, turns, or dives practice at the end of the night. Times are recorded and points awarded for improving personal best times. These points are aggregated to determine trophy winners at the end of the season.

·     Parents are encouraged to assist with timing, collection of entries, raffles, etc. It is a great opportunity to join actively in the club activities, and to get to know other parents and children in the club. Please come up to the table at the far end of the pool during club times if you are able to help.

·     Cost of entry is $3.00 per swimmer. This money is collected by Aqua Wolves Swimming Club inside the pool area, and contributes to the cost of lane hire which the club pays each night.

·     A range of other activities are conducted by the Club to raise additional funding. These include a small raffle each Club night (please support the raffle by contributing a small prize each 3-4 months), as well as pie/chocolate/cake drives, lucky number schemes, etc. Funds raised go directly to the Club to support Club activities, and purchase equipment (eg stop watches, tent, and captain’s t-shirts). 

·     Aqua Wolves also hold distance nights on nominated Saturdays where swimmers are able to complete swims off 200 meters or above in any stroke of their choice.

Saturday night swims commence at 5:30 PM and swimmers are required to be at the pool by 5:15 PM to nominate swims.

The cost of these nights is $3.00 per swimmer.
