Sydney Swimmers Spring & Summer Timetables
Please note the timetable can be subject to change and therefore it is always wise to check MindBody. Ideally, if you can book your squad session online ahead of time you would be helping out the coaches enormously.

A huge shout out to Kim Cook and Liz Crowhurst for their swims in the 10km event at the Pacific Open Water Challenge in Samoa, which apparently was more like a 12km swim given the tough conditions. They went on and swam in the 5km event the next […]

Advanced Stars!
These pictures show you what determination can do. The photo on the left is Marcella after she’d just swum her first 100m.
