State Entries

A bit of an update.
If you enter an event now online, then do a faster time this weekend, the time will be updated into the program for state champs. Had a few people ask and just got the answer.

State Entries

We have only had 4 people enter so far online for state champs. There is 1 week to go to get your entries in. Those that are looking at times for this weekend, make sure you then get your entries in ASAP on the Sunday night or Monday. Go to www.swimmingvictoria.org.au and follow the links to enter online. You will need your login and password which is different for each swimmer.

Activities on camp

The activities on camp to Thredbo are all being run by a 3rd party activity operator. I will not be the guy leading the march up Kosi. I will leave that in the hands of the experts. I had a couple of people mention it. Thanks,

Engine Wingskin Flyer

New Engine offer for 2010 FINA Approved suits available to Bayside Swimmers. See attached flyer for more details. Ours can also come with the Bayside logo.

I also have an unused mens size 26 pair that I bought a few weeks ago for someone who didn't need it. Same price.Let me know.

Important information is that when fitting these suits, especially at the leg, that you should not be able to fit 2 fingers between the cuff and your skin. They need to be that tight and yes, they will be uncomfortable. That being said, you should only put them on just prior to racing and take them off straight after, before you swim down. If you look after them, your suits will last a lot longer.

Van tanya in Nederland

Just letting you know that I have made it to Netherlands!  There are a few computers here that have free internet so that's good.  I will try to get on the blog at some point.  Still yet to find out what events I am in "öfficially". There is rumour of a relay team. Anyway there's a queue for the computers so better get off. The flight was long but ok - Jeremy Tidy and I talked the flight attendant out of giving us low fat meals on the first leg, but it didn't work for the second!!
