Swim sessions have resumed their normal schedule this week. The next meet is on Saturday at the Basa pool and hopefully most of you have emailed Amanda (copied above) to confirm you are able to volunteer! Meet entries are now closed. Remember you can find the calendar of all meets on the BASA website as well as the meet packages with schedule of events and location of the meets. Any changes to meet dates will be communicated as soon as we receive the information.
Reminder for parents of all Intermediate Seniors and Seniors that there will be a quick meeting following the meet on Saturday to discuss the provisionally planned overseas meet in June. These meets have always been really fun trips for the swimmers and is great for team bonding!. As a club we would love to have these back on the calendar again. If your swimmer may be interested, please do attend.
