National and State Squad training: pm We hope to see all swimmers there supporting our new and young swimmers in what will be the first race for many of our Junior Squad swimmers. Saturday afternoon Country and Intermediate Squad at Wonthaggi Due to lane space issues at Wonthaggi on a Saturday morning we are making the following changes to the program starting as of Saturday 9 th June. Swimmers in the Country and Intermediate Squad can attend either the 7.30am-9.00am session or the 2.00pm-3.45pm session at Wonthaggi. There is an abundance of space in the afternoon sessions which is a great opportunity for our young swimmers to get more 1 on 1 time with their coach and challenge themselves against the state squad swimmers. If you are unsure if this session will suit you, please speak to Brett. SGB Winter meet - 24th June Our first official meet of the season will be hosted by SGB at Leongatha.

5 Parent s swimming sessions We had great success and strong participation with our parent sessions that were introduced in the season. 10 of parents went on to compete for the club at the Gippsland Champs or in the SGSA competitions. We hope to continue to grow this squad throughout the season and double our squad size for a parent sessions. There will be a 1 hour session running each month beginning in July at both Leongatha and Wonthaggi pools.
