Club Swimwear and Shirts
Club Swimwear
Thanks to the efforts of many, this season we are looking to change our Club Swimwear provider to FINZ. FINZ are generally accepted as being a quality provider of Club Apparel and as many of you would already know, are always a busy Vendor at both Senior and Junior Carnivals each year, due to the recognised quality of their products.
Semaphore SLSC, along with many of our metropolitan counterparts, have decided to ‘Order by Demand’ this season. The benefit of this method is that stock holding costs are not passed on to Club Members. The first and most pressing items are Club Swimwear. Whilst it is not compulsory that club members compete in Club Swimwear, it is a great sign of our Club spirit that all our competing members look part of our Club. There are two options for Female competitors (a Single Piece & a 2-Piece Bather) and two options for Male competitors (Speedo-style & Jammer Style) as displayed below. Delivery times are expected to be approximately 6 weeks from date of order. Details of how you register your interest & place an order will be provided on the first day of Nippers this Saturday (for Juniors) & via Sean McKenzie (Seniors)
Female Competitors
Male Competitor
Due to the generous & grateful support of BluBuilt Constructions, the cost of the Club Swimwear will be further subsidised for those Club Members who order prior to the 13th of October. Please find below the subsidised pricing for the Club Swimwear items:
| Girls (One-Piece) Sizes 4-14 | $41.00 |
| Ladies (One-Piece) Sizes 8-22 | $43.00 |
| Girls (Two-Piece) Sizes 4-14 | $44.00 |
| Ladies (Two-Piece) Sizes 8-22 | $48.00 |
| Boys Racer Style/Speedo Sizes 4-14 | $21.00 |
| Mens Racer Style/Speedo Sizes 14-24 | $22.00 |
| Boys Jammer Style Sizes 4-14 | $30.00 |
| Mens Jammer Style Sizes 14-24 | $33.00 |
Club Shirts
We will also be purchasing a new style Club Shirt from FINZ. Similarly, to Club Swimwear, Club Shirts will not be held in Stock & will be a ‘Order on Demand’ item. The sample design of the Shirt is pictured below. Sizes ranges from Kids Size 10 up to Adult 3XL. It is expected that the cost of the Shirts will be $55.00 per shirt. The shirts are Sun-Smart & look terrific either on the Beach or around the Club. The only catch is that we need a minimum order of 100 Shirts, so we need your support to get the first batch up & running. A sample of the shirt will be available for viewing at the Club on Nippers Opening Days of 6th & 13th of October. (Please note the design on the back of the Shirt has not yet been confirmed).
Information about other items of Club Apparel, will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
Kind regards,
Bruce Moseley & Sean McKenzie.

Junior Weekly Report
10 DAYS TO GO
It’s been an eventful week with lots of little bits and pieces finally going in to place.
At the start of any season there are many newcomers across all age groups, and I’m sure we tried and true members can all remember starting and being very unfamiliar with Surf Life Saving practices so if you see anyone looking lost or not sure what to do next reach out and lend a helping hand. Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club has long been known as a Family Club and we want to ensure that that tradition continues.
Nipper Facebook Group
The SSLSC Nippers will have their own Facebook Group this year, which will hopefully launch with the start of the season, making it a one stop shop for all Nipper related information. Keep a look out for more news here.
Attire Requirements for ALL Training Sessions
The required mandatory attire for all training sessions are Broad Brimmed Hat, Long Sleeved Rashie /Training Top as well as;
Hi-Vis Top
Accepted colours are Yellow / Pink / Combination Pink-Yellow purchased from last years State Titles. Green will not be accepted as per Surf Life Saving SA guidelines.
