🐟 One Week to Go, Piranhas!

We’re officially just one week away from kicking off the season, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the pool. The coaches, committee and volunteers are gearing up for what’s shaping to be an exciting, supportive and confidence‑building year for all our swimmers.

🏊‍♂️ Training Update – First Night Back

A quick reminder that there is no formal training on our first night back. The pool will be open for personal warm‑up only — this is not a free swim, but swimmers are welcome to hop in, stretch out, and get comfortable ahead of the season.

We’ll also have committee members and volunteers available around the clubhouse to help our new families with:

Navigating the SwimTopia app
Understanding how Club Nights run
Meet entries and weekly processes
Any questions you may have

It’s the perfect night to settle in, get familiar, and feel supported.

🏊‍♀️ Extended Training & Flippers Recommendation

As shared earlier, this season we’re investing further into additional training pathways for swimmers who want to push their skills and reach their full potential.

For those participating in Intermediate to Advanced training, our coaching mentor recommends purchasing flippers to assist with Butterfly technique development. They’re not compulsory, but they do help swimmers learn correct kick movement and body position.

Flippers can be found easily at Kmart or Rebel, and there are also affordable online options through sites like Temu.

👕 Uniform Orders

Uniform orders have now been placed.

First batch: Ready mid‑October
Second batch: A couple of weeks behind

We’ll communicate collection details once they arrive.

📣 Sign‑On This Saturday

We have another Sign‑On Day this Saturday morning. If you have friends or family who are considering joining, encourage them to come down, meet the committee, ask questions, and experience the safe, welcoming environment that makes the Piranhas community so special.

💙 Bring On the Season

Thank you for being part of our club. We’re excited to see everyone back on pool deck, reconnecting, learning, and having fun. Let’s make this season our best yet.
