STEP 3. GET POOLSIDE AND BE INVOLVED
Welcome!
We are delighted to have you and your family join our community of passionate swimmers. It's time to dive into the poolside action and get involved!
At our Club, we believe in the power of parent and carer volunteers who become 'Friends of Swimming'. We encourage and appreciate the participation of parents and carers in various club activities and events. Whether it's assisting during training sessions, helping organise club nights, or contributing to the overall club operations, your involvement is invaluable to the success and growth of our Swim Club.
Our Club Nights, held on Friday evenings, are the highlight of our swim season. It's an opportunity for swimmers to showcase their skills, compete and enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow club members. While the swimmers are busy making waves in the pool, we also have a sausage sizzle where you can grab a delicious meal and socialise with other club families.
Additionally, we offer a range of club merchandise for purchase. By buying and proudly wearing our merchandise, you not only support your club but also become a walking ambassador for our swim community. It's a great way to show your pride and solidarity with The Lakes College Swim Club.
