Newsletter Term 1

The Dunedin Swimming Club is a non-competitive, family orientated, learn to swim club, catering for beginners in the Learners Pool through to improvers in the Main Pool.
We meet every Friday during school terms from 6.15pm to 7.00pm.
Our coaches are all unpaid volunteers who freely give their time to work with our young swimmers. Without our coaches, we would not have a club. Please give them your support.
We are always looking for new coaches, so if you or someone you know is interested in coaching or assisting with coaching please let us know. Coaching courses are available, and all costs will be met by the club.
 

The club has a small committee who ensure that the club runs smoothly and that the children’s needs are being met. We urgently need more committee members. There is no fundraising involved and we only meet once per month-for no more than 1 hour after club. Children welcome. Please come along if you can.
 

As well as our regular coaching sessions, we have water safety sessions, and approximately two Fun Nights per term. These fun nights are seen as very important to children, as they enforce confidence in the water. We hold an annual Fun Carnival, and a Club Championships night in the later part of the year. Club Prize Giving and a BBQ night are held in early December.

Our fees are affordable, and can be paid in full on registration night, or arrangements can be made with our Treasurer for part payments, however, fees MUST be paid in full by the end of term one. When fees are PAID IN FULL, a membership card will be issued, allowing members to enter the pool on club nights for a discounted amount of $2.00 per registered member.
 

Members are reminded that they cannot enter the pool before 6 p.m. on club nights using the membership card. This rule is strictly adhered to by the pool staff, and applies to all swimming clubs using the pool. We must also remind all members that their discounted pool entry fee does not cover entry to the Wave Pool after club time. Parents and Spectators can spectate for free but must pay pool entry if you wish to use facilities.
 

If your child/ children are dropped off at the pool and choose not to join their coaching group, we cannot be held responsible for supervising them during club time. Parents/ Caregivers are also reminded that the coaches and committee are not responsible for the supervision of your child/ children before or after club.
 

Medical Information: If your child has a medical condition which you feel we should be aware of, please let your child’s coach know.
 

From time to time, our pool space is not available to us, and our club night will be cancelled. The DCC will notify the club of any coming events. If you are unsure if we are meeting, please check Thursday’s Otago Daily Times Sports Draw under the heading SWIMMING, or contact one of the committee members listed below.
 

A club newsletter will be sent to you (by e.mail if we hold your e.mail address) at the start of each term, which will include a timetable of activities.

 Thank you for your continuing support.
