Upcoming Club Events

RSC Aggregate #2, Sunday 25th Aug @ Aquahub

Entries for aggregate number #2 2024-2025 season are now open on Swim Central. Please read the important information below (particularly the section under squad/stream event allocation) to avoid your child missing competing or to avoid them missing points. 

The Club Aggregate is a series of 8 club races held over several Sundays throughout the swimming season. To cover the costs of the coaches attending on the day, the club has decided to charge a $2 ex-GST charge per event.  Enter aggregates via Swim Central, click on the following link if you need assistance on how to enter - How to Enter a Meet – Swimming Australia Online Support Portal.   

The focus of aggregates is 100% on fun and personal improvement.  Below is a listing of events that your swimmer can enter based on their squad level.  

Swimmers will gain points by participating in the events allocated to their squad level. These points go towards the Age Aggregate Awards at the end of the season at Presentation Night (June 2025). Points are awarded on personal best times from past aggregates. The more your times improve from past aggregates as the season goes on, the more points you can earn. Swimmers need to attend at least 4 out of the 8 aggregates we run through the year to qualify for awards.

 Performance stream squad swimmers will be expected to help the Club Captains run the aggregate events, however, are welcome to swim some events for fun.  Participation is not compulsory for Performance squad swimmers. Performance stream squads will gain aggregate points by attending targeted meets during the season- more information will be provided to these squads soon.  

The long-distance event in each aggregate counts towards the RSC Open Champ awards at the end of the season at Presentation Night.  Your best time of the season for every stroke and distance combination gets compared to the best time of other RSC swimmers.  You get points awarded based on your ranking between the RSC swimmers for stroke and distance combined.  The performance stream squads also get points awarded for these long-distance events. 

If earning points for awards does not interest your swimmer, that’s fine, please encourage them to still participate in the fun! This is a fantastic way to spend a Sunday afternoon practicing those race skills for the first, second or hundredth time! If you are new to RSC this is a fantastic way to get to know other parents and swimmers, and for your swimmer to get comfortable with some racing in a fun and friendly atmosphere. 

Parents – At least one parent should be in attendance with the swimmer. Please do not just drop your swimmers at the pool. We will need parent assistance to help time keep on the day. Timekeeping is the best seat in the house and a great way to get involved in your swimmer’s sport.
