Youth Development Update

Hi All,

After thought and consideration as of the first Saturday in 2018, youth development trainings will now be shortened to 1 hour and will begin at 10 AM and conclude at 11 AM.  From 11am to 12pm there will be Board rescue session for those interested, whilst we are looking at also getting some boats and IRBS’s down for those who would also like to try that for an hour.

The U13’s will be joining us as they begin to transition into the group for the following season. I look forward to setting new record numbers!

For those who do iron person training in the morning with Sean, Jacko Mahney will take a gym session from 10-11am to add another element of training whilst giving a better chance to warm up and recover. Those who are unable to attend iron training or not quite confident enough will be on the beach with myself.

Look forward to seeing you all out there.

Luke

Seniors Weekly Update

Unfortunately there will be no youth training this Saturday (18th November). There are a few things going on, so enjoy the morning and rest up for the carnival the following day. Iron person training is on as per normal at 8:30am, with trailer loading for the carnival happening after iron training.

Ski training will start on Monday the 20th.  This is especially aimed at new ski paddlers, but is open to everyone. Please meet at the club at 4:45pm, then we will then head to the lake for training.

Senior carnival two is on this Sunday at Aldinga, further details to come, but if you have nothing on we would love to see you down there for some support.

 

Junior Swimming training begins

Junior Swimming Training begins this Wednesday night (15/11/17) at the Largs Bay Swim Centre.  This is an opportunity for proficient swimmers in competing age groups to get some extra swimming training in.  It must be stressed that this is not a “learn to swim” session and parents seeking this sort of support can discuss lesson options with the Largs Swim Centre.

Training is 7pm-8pm and will be led by Brenton Zampatti.  Cost is $4 per session.

Please note Senior Swimming Training has been moved to 7.30pm.
