Swimmers Swimming Club

Swimmers Swimming Club Inc. was formed in 2003 for squad members at SWIMMERS Swim School who are interested in participating in swimming competitions.

 

Lessons and squad training teach swimming skills and racing strategies and develop personal fitness.  Competitions provide a focus for measuring personal achievement.  Doing well at a competition is the reason, the driving force, for the hard work of training.

 
All Club members are required to train in SWIMMERS Club Squad, Advanced Squad or Top Squad.  The squads have exclusive use (public or recreational swimming is not allowed) of SWIMMERS 25 metre, 4 lane pool. The pool is heated to 28°- an ideal temperature for extended training sessions and hard work!
Top Squad and Advanced Squad members also have exclusive use of SWIMMERS gym for tri-weekly land based training.

When joining Swimmers Swimming Club Inc. competitors have the opportunity to develop socially with other ambitious people of their own age.  Whilst the onus is on self achievement by the swimmer, we hope that all aspects of the sport are a source of enjoyment and satisfaction for them and their whole families.  As well as their physical development as athletes, Club members will develop independence and social self-reliance as they learn and adjust to the protocol of an officially run swim meet - race preparation, marshalling, assembling behind the starting blocks, and swimming in the event itself.   Club members will strive for self achievement reflected in Personal Best (PB) swimming times and will also feel the pride of swimming as part of the team with Swimmers Swimming Club. 

 

To swim in recognised championships or swim meets in Victoria,  swimmers must be registered with Swimming Victoria and be members of an affiliated club.  Most of the club membership fee goes directly to Swimming Victoria to pay registration for one year - May 1 to 30 April - and a member must be re-registered each year through the club.

 

The Club conducts regular in-house club meets.  There are 20 club meets held during the year on Friday nights between 7pm and 9pm., at SWIMMERS in the 25 metre pool.  These Club Meets are only available to members of the club.

 They are designed for self improvement and over the course of the year the results of the races will help determine the Club's age group champions and Club Champion. The program for each club meet is closely related to the squad training programs and to the compulsory District (Metro West) based events coming up.  Club meets are for all club members regardless of ability.  All members are required to attend as often as possible, both to have fun and to gain the benefits of regular "meet practice" for bigger events to come.  As well as club and District meets, there are  carnivals and competitions conducted by Swimming Victoria and by individual metropolitan and country clubs throughout the year.

When joining a club like SWIMMERS, competitors will have the opportunity to develop socially with other young people of their own age.  Whilst the onus is on self achievement, we are particularly conscious of the need to ensure that all aspects of the sport are a source of enjoyment for both the swimmers and their families.  By achieving this we believe we can foster a sense of belonging and hopefully develop a good and responsible attitude within the swimmers themselves.
