A reminder that the following targeted meets are coming up soon:
August 16 - Bayside Short Course Meet @ MSAC
This is a targeted meet for our State Streams, other streams please consult with your coach.
The meet flyer can be found here
Entries are still open on Swim Central and close Sunday, August 10th or earlier if capacity is reached sooner. If you need help on how to enter, just click on the following link: How to Enter a Meet – Swimming Australia Online Support Portal
This is the last opportunity to achieve those qualifying times that you have been working towards. The short course season is nearly over, so be sure to enter ASAP to avoid disappointment.
We would also like two volunteers for Team Managers in the am and pm session. Please get in touch if you are able to help.
August 17 - RSC Aggregate #1 @ Aquahub
Entries for aggregate number #1 will be open on Sunday 10th August (evening)
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 6 to 8 club races held over several Sundays throughout the swimming season. Entries are $2 ex-GST 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 2026). 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 half of 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.
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.
SQUAD/STREAM EVENT ALLOCTION
Please ONLY enter your children in the events below as per the squad/stream they are assigned to.
Entering your child outside of these events will result in them being unable to swim and/or no points being recorded.
You can also only enter one distance per stroke + IM and/or the long distance event, if your squad has the option of different distances. For example, if your child’s squad has the option of either 50m Freestyle or 100m Freestyle they can do either, but NOT both.
Swimmers entered outside of the two above rules will result in no swims or no points.
Do you want to try a long distance event before attempting it at an official competition? The aggregate is a great place to try out the longer events. At this aggregate, the 400m Freestyle is available to any swimmers wanting to try it out or practice.
