008-09 Junior Excellence Program Criteria....

Swimming Australia in conjunction with Swim Northern Territory has introduced the new Junior Excellence Program (JX) throughout Australia to recognize, reward and encourage young swimmers aged between 9 and 13.  In this program swimmers who achieve times set by Swimming Australia will qualify for  Gold, Silver, Bronze or Green standard.  Swimming Australia will provide a JX Cap (9-10 years) or a JX T-shirt (11-13 years), a certificate, 2 posters and publication of the swimmers name on the Swimming Australia website. 

2007/2008 Season JX Qualifyers

Australian Unity Go Club PB Awards

Our club was once again successful gaining "Silver" status in the "Australian Unity Go Club PB Awards". This program brings awareness to  the importance of club structures by measuring the performance of clubs across different areas - the five areas being: Membership, Administration, Activities, Coaching & Officiating and Marketing & Promotion. Ours was the only Territory swimming club to achieve this standard.

Please try and be on time to sessions, that is, ready to get into pool with goggles, cap, fins and drink bottle by the time your session is due to start.

For session times please see the information page.

Saturday Competitions:

A book will be on pool deck every afternoon and swimmers can mark off the 4 events they wish to enter each week. Please try and have all entries in by the Thursday evening prior to the Sat. am meet. Gates open 7.00am for warm-up with events starting at 7.30am. These meets can’t run without the help of parents to set-up the pool, time keep and officiate. Don’t worry! No experience required. It’s also a great chance for you to support your child and see how well they are doing.
