As the Spring Carnival continues...
Thank you to all swimmers and helpers who have come to our Spring Racing Carnival series over the last 3 weeks. First day of the Summer Season commences on Saturday 4th October. Swims from 4th October onwards count towards graded point scores and club championships qualifiers.
A reminder the Swimming Centre opens at 7.00am (during September) for setup and races commence at 7.15am, with a finish within 90 minutes.
Last week setup was delayed due to multiple factors, so a big thank you to all that lent a flipper to help out.
Don’t blow it—register now!
Registration for the 2025/2026 season is officially open, and you can find step-by-step instructions on the “How to Join” page. Think of it as your treasure map to smooth sailing this summer.
Here’s the catch (pun intended): swimmers can dive in and enter our Spring Racing Carnival before renewing their 2025/2026 memberships. But after 1st October, you’ll need to have completed your renewal to keep making waves with us!
We still providing Free Membership for swimmers 8yrs & Under, who regularly swim in our club races. See the club website for more information about this.
So don’t let your whale-tail behind—get your registration sorted today and let’s keep the pod swimming strong! 🐳

Revesby Workers are making a splash!
Today we have a massive group of 16 swimmers that are taking a splash and competing at the Revesby Workers 2025 LC Interclub Meet. May the Whale be with you!!
Making a splash at the Cumberland Inter-Club Cup!
It’s our turn to host the Cumberland Inter-Club Cup, happening on Saturday 15th November at Merrylands Swimming Centre. This is no small fish — it’s one of the highlights of the season, and we’re ready to whale-come everyone for an afternoon of fantastic racing.
Our Social Committee has been working like busy barnacles to final whale all the details and make sure the day goes swimmingly.
We’ll also be rolling out our set of touch pads for the meet, so here’s your early reminder: this event is a WHOLE POD effort. We’ll need all fins on deck, helping on the day. It will be truly appreciated! 🐋👏
Walk to Defeat MND Fundraising - Whale done, team!
Our fundraising target of $5,000 has been well and truly harpooned — we’ve now splashed past the finish line with $5,197! 🎉
🐳 Let’s keep the tide rising! 🌊
Please continue to spread the word about our fundraising effort to all your friends — the more the merrier in our pod! We’d also love to see you join us for the fundraising walk on Sunday 2nd November at Blaxland Riverside Park, Sydney Olympic Park.
It’s sure to be a whale of a time, so grab your walking shoes and let’s keep making waves together for this great cause! 🐋💦
