There's nothing quite like a 40 degree day with hot winds to bring everyone out to swimming club and that's exactly what happened last Friday night.

Each week, new registrations are still rolling in so it's not too late to come down, cool off and join in the fun.
The 12m swimmers had a blast in the water with Archie Coble and Mookie Trotter first up followed by Juliet O'Brien and Harriet Miles have great swims.
Then the 25m freestyle races were on and Tyler Sullivan raced with Noah Coble for the boys.
For the girls, Delilah Cross, showing improvement every week, took to the blocks with Jorja O'Brien.
For the really keen breaststrokers, the 100m was up next. Harvey Gay and Will Fahey took to the water for the boys and swam fantastically.
Lily Rice and Ella Cross had a great race down the pool and back again.
There were quick impromptu lessons on how to do butterfly before the 25m swimmers were back in the water.
The girls did an amazing job with the difficult stroke and none of them gave up.
Lucy Bowman, Isabella Piper, Emme Kelly, Tamsyn Ritchie and Tahlia Vernon had a very close race.
Molly Kelly did particularly well along with Sam Vernon and Beau Rice.
We finished the night with 100m backstroke.
Marlie McIntosh had a great first night in the water against Milli Smith, while Jack Grant and Colby George did battle for the boys.
A big thanks to those who volunteered to help out and especially to those who stayed back to help pack up on Friday night.
It's a big job getting the lane ropes and flags into and out of the pool and then the covers on after a big day and your assistance makes these jobs easier on everyone.
On top of that, swimming club doesn't run without time keepers, an announcer and our all important cooks on the BBQ.
We look forward to seeing you all again next week and we wish our swimmers who are competing in Young Carnival on Sunday all the very best.
