South Gippsland Bass Newsletter 26th May, 2017

Welcome Back!

 

The end of season break has come and gone and we are back at it again. I hope everyone has come back feeling refreshed and I look forward to seeing what this season has in store for our swimmers and our club.

Throughout this season we will be looking to implement a number of new opportunities for our swimmers into the program so make sure you are keeping up to date on TeamApp, emails and newsletters to make sure you don’t miss out.

Welcome back and if I haven’t seen you on pool deck yet I hope to see you soon. Dylan Muir

SGB Winter Qualifier @ Leongatha Sunday, 18th June

Our first meet of the season will be hosted by SGB at Leongatha. This meet will be a great opportunity for our swimmers to see where they are at early in the season, especially for all our new and young swimmers. It is also the first opportunity of the season for Swimmers to achieve Vic Country and Vic Age Short Course Qualifying times.

Please note: as this is a winter meet it is a ‘pay per event meet.’ This is a great opportunity for our club as a fundraiser and we hope to see all our swimmers there supporting the club.
