SWIM OFF – SWIMMERS VS COACH'S

A new theme that has been introduced this year is a swim off swimmers vs coaching staff. To date the swimmers lead the series 2 – 0. The first swim off was in early March in 400 Im when the swimmers squiked out a win by less than 3 metres of Head Coach Eric.

In the second swim off the swimmers being honest destroyed the coach staff Eric & Michael in 400 Free by lapping.
However a challenge has been slated for another swim off in late April with the coach's indicating that a win will occur. Details will follow of date for this swim off.

Finally I am glad that everyone is enjoying themselves and is improving in their swimming and hope to see everyone soon.

Eric & Michael
