Post State Champs Dinner
Just to let you all know, there will be a post State Champs Dinner on the last finals night. I am letting you know as a few people have asked if there will be anything done. It will be the last thing that age group swimmers will have to do before their break until January 1.
Cheers

Kyabram Meet results
A little late, my appologies, but here they are. The results for the meet.
FYI - If there are spelling mistakes on here then it is likely that this will be the name put on the national database. If there is, please let me know, and for any future or past meets. The database works off the swimmers name and DOB. Incorrect spelling will result in a duplicate name in the database and any PBs will not be accessible.
Thanks,
Gus

Learn to swim research
ELEANOR HALL: A group of Queensland researchers is investigating whether swimming makes children smarter.
The landmark study will monitor thousands of children who learn how to swim early and whether that translates into higher scores in the classroom.
High-profile swimming coach Lawrie Lawrence approached the university to start the study.
He wants to prove that swimming does help children learn in order to encourage the Federal Government to subsidise swimming lessons, as Stephanie Smail reports.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: Swimming coach Lawrie Lawrence has been teaching children how to swim for 35 years.
LAWRIE LAWRENCE: Babies come into this world with billions of neurons and they need stimulation because that's how they learn. They learn by sight, sound, taste, touch, smell.
Now water is the perfect medium to stimulate the senses because as you immerse a baby in the water it covers their whole body and as you move the children through the water they experience different sensations. Plus the parents are there to communicate and talk so it's the perfect medium.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: Lawrie Lawrence and others in the swimming industry approached Professor Robyn Jorgensen at Griffith University to find evidence that teaching babies and young children how to swim, can help them develop intellectually.
Professor Jorgensen says there's already promising signs.
ROBYN JORGENSEN: The thing that's already striking us is that with swimming it's the first time they're faced with formal instructions. So they're already being exposed to the kind of things that we do in school where we ask the child to sit down, look at me, listen to my instructions, do what I've told them to do.
So it's happening much earlier than say if the kids go to gymnastics they already have to be able to walk and tumble and things like that, whereas in swimming it's tailored for their physical development.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: The research team will study 10,000 children across Australia, New Zealand and the United States for the next four years, interviewing parents and observing children in the classroom.
Lawrie Lawrence says the four-year-olds he's teaching in Brisbane this morning are the perfect example of how swimming lessons aid a child's development.
LAWRIE LAWRENCE: They're starting to recognise colours, numbers, they're starting to experience social interaction with other kids. As they achieve skills they get a great feeling of self esteem so they become more confident.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: The swimming coach says the study could be proof he needs to convince the Federal Government to pay for swimming lessons for families who can't afford them.
LAWRIE LAWRENCE: Many people and the lower socio-economic people cannot afford swimming lessons. In fact, if we can prove that swimming lessons enhance children's social, emotional, physical and intellectual capital - if we can prove that, we can go to the Federal Government and say listen, here it is from Griffith University.
This is a four-year longitudinal study of kids who have learnt to swim at an early age. We believe this should be available to every Australian child.
STEPHANIE SMAIL: Professor Robyn Jorgensen says swimming lessons are shaping up as a valuable addition to a child's early education.
ROBYN JORGENSEN: We're already seeing that the early swimming is actually a fun environment where the children are not threatened but they're being exposed to what they need to know in terms of school preparation.
We believe that aside from the swimming showing that the students are likely to be enhanced in their development that it's also a very good way for preparing students for school.

Ben Anderson results Noosa Tri
Ben Anderson competed in the Noosa Triathlon on the weekend and placed 9th in the 15-19 years age group. Considering that he is 15 and that this is a very well attended event it was a great result. Well done Ben.

Melbourne Cup morning swim
Morning Everyone,
Here are the results of the mornings swim. It was a very successful morning. We had lots of swimmers from all of our pools come along and swim either a 3.2km, 2km or 1km pool swim. The most challenging part for some being counting the laps. We had a lot of assistance from the parents, none more than Darren Jeffs who put together breakfast for everyone. Thanks to all those that helped including the coaches who gave up their time on a public holiday. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and we are all back to work tomorrow.
