WELCOME:

First of all I would like to extend to you, a very warm welcome and thank you for choosing to join Collegiate Swimming Club.

Our club is one of the oldest in Southland with a very proud history extending towards 80 years and we welcome all new swimmers and their families.

Collegiate Swimming Club offers tuition to young swimmers right across the swimming spectrum.
We provide learn to swim classes for the beginner right through to advanced training for the competitive swimmers. We also cater for those who swim purely as a recreational pursuit.

This leaflet is designed as an introduction and guide for new club members, however please feel free to contact myself or any member of our Club Committee, should you have any queries or problems.

I trust your association with the Collegiate Swimming Club will be a pleasurable one.

Yvonne McDonald President

After this assessment your child will be assigned to an appropriate group comprising of swimmers at a similar competency level. You will then be advised of the group start time for future club nights.
Your child will advance through the groups as their swimming progresses. Advancement to the main pool is achieved after attaining 50 metres (at required standard.)

A warm welcome to new swimmers to our club and welcome back to all swimmers for the 2008/2009 season.

Last season our learn to swim programme continued to be very popular in the learners pool. This season we continue under the guidance of Head Coach Adrienne Pope. Congratulations to Adrienne who was a finalist in the “Watties Volunteer Coach of the Year’.

This year in the main pool we are pleased to be able to renew our contract with Aidan Withington the Swimming Southland Development Officer. Last season with Aidan’s swim programme we continued to see the increased skills and confidence of our swimmers. We saw the progression of 2 swimmers from club night swimming into competitive swimming. Our aim this season is to enhance this and see further swimmers involved in competitive swimming. We have secured a lane in the deep end of the pool. Swimmers who swam at the last Ribbon Day are swimming in the deep end, along with the competitive swimmers. If your child is interested in competitive swimming please contact Nigel Soper.

This year we were fortunate to receive a grant from ICC to purchase swimming caps for all swimmers. These caps have been distributed to all swimmers to wear on club nights. Caps have been named to assist the coaches to identify swimmers and assess skills of individual swimmers.

We have also are working on developing a club t-shirt. We will have more information and these available for sale soon.

Swim NZ are currently updating their database. All swimmers should have been issued a membership form to complete. Please check with the desk if you have not completed this yet.

President
