SAFE, FUN TRAINING AND COMPETITIONS
Fraser Coast Swim Club Inc is affiliated with Swimming Qld and Swimming Australia, which controls and administers the sport of swimming. Our club is run within those guidelines.
Our club aims to provide a safe, non-threatening, happy environment so our swimmers, from beginners to State to National swimmers, can train and compete. We also offer a social outlet for our parent members to build club pride and friendships out of the water.

A BBQ will run each club night from 5.30pm with sausage on bread available for purchase. Proceeds from this BBQ go towards the club.
The program of events and nomination forms are displayed on the club noticeboard. Swimmers can nominate for up to four events.
Nominations for all events must be made by 6.00pm on the Friday night prior to each club night.
Nominations are to be placed into the swim club folder located at the noticeboard. Any swimmer who does not nominate by Friday night cannot be guaranteed a swim on Club night.
All parents are encouraged to become involved in the club and volunteers are required for time keeping, marshaling and BBQ each club night.
The more you become involved in the club, the more you will get out of it.
CARNIVALS
The club will participate in several swim carnivals during the year, and all competitive swimmers are encouraged to attend these events.
Please check the noticeboard regularly for the deadlines for nominating for carnivals. Carnivals are entered directly on line via Swim Central. Details of how to access this will be emailed from Swimming Qld once you sign up. Any nominations after the due date cannot be accepted.
Some carnivals will require qualifying times (those listed overleaf with a ‘Q’). These need to be verified before nominating. Please see Coach Liz regarding these events.
All swimmers are to wear Fraser Coast race caps when competing (you receive one of these when you sign up).
All participating clubs are expected to provide timekeepers during the day. This is not a hard job so don’t be afraid to help (you would have already conducted timekeeping at club night).
Details of carnivals including the program, psych sheets and results are posted on the Wide Bay swimming website (www.widebayswimming.org.au).
