Club nights have officially kicked off for the Burdekin Swimming Club, and their recent ‘come and try’ night made quite a splash with approximately 80 swimmers taking to the water, marking an excellent start to the season.
In addition to the club's dedicated members, swimmers from various swim schools enthusiastically joined the event to have some enjoyable races in a friendly setting. Although club nights emphasise participation rather than competition, each child's performance was timed and recorded. These times serve as personal benchmarks, motivating swimmers to return to the next club night and strive to beat their own personal bests. Those who achieve new personal best times are rewarded with the coveted Freddo's!
The club will be hosting another ‘come and try’ event on the 8th November.
The swim season extends through April next year, and the Burdekin Swimming Club welcomes swimmers of all skill levels and ages. The club currently has swimming ranging in age from five to 50 years old. Participants can engage in all swim strokes or focus on the ones they are most comfortable with. Beyond the fun and fitness aspects, the swim club also offers opportunities for those aspiring to improve their times. Swimmers have the chance to attend competitions where they can challenge themselves against peers from around the region.
Club nights are held every Wednesday night, with a 6pm start time. Further information can often be found on the club's Facebook page, or inquiries can be directed to the club via email at info@basc.net.au. Newcomers are welcomed to attend three free club nights before making a commitment.
The club will be hosting another ‘come and try’ night on 8th November.
