Mission Statement The Ascot State School Amateur Swimming Club has been operating since 1973. The aim of the club for this season is to offer an organised program of swimming events for members so they get both enjoyment and satisfaction from continual improvement in their swimming. It is a club that offers swimmers a fun yet competitive racing environment. Committee & Key Contact Details This season we have introduced shared positions. This is to share the workload, as we are all volunteers, and to enable better succession planning and handovers after each season. President Vicki Bond Sarah Comiskey swimclub@ascotss.eq.edu.au swimclub@ascotss.eq.edu.au ph: 0414 464 507 ph 0419 900 558 Secretary Tonja Ferguson tonja.ferguson@raywhite.com Treasurer Anna Harte anna.harte@bigpond.com IT Co-ordinator Rod Huybers Kris Seeto rod@maynestream.com.au kristine.seeto@iinet.net.au BBQ & Canteen Kelly Hynes Julie-Ann Watt Co-ordinator kelly.hynes@jwc.net.au jjwatt@tpg.com.au Roster Rosie McGuire Kylie Timms Co-ordinator rmcgu10@eq.edu.au dktimms@optusnet.com.au Technical Advisor Suki Brownsdon sukibrownsdon@msn.com The committee is responsible for administration, financial management and leadership of the club. Like any successful sporting team, a successful committee requires all of its members to work together to gain the most from each individual‟s skills and abilities and all working towards one common goal - to ensure the club‟s success. Please support your committee. 2
Club Membership Club membership is seasonal – Oct-Mar – and is open to all students and families of Ascot State School as well as the wider community. Membership is renewable annually. A new online registration form must be completed each season. Membership fees: $100 per family ($103 through Flexischools only) Half-season fee: $50 per family (for new memberships after 1/1/2012) Only financial members will be allowed to swim on the first official club night (or first trial night). Your Key Questions Answered When do I need to be at the pool? Friday night Swim Meets run from 6pm – 8pm. . Is there a warm-up time? The pool will be open for children to warm up from 5:45pm for 15 minutes. Parents are responsible for supervising their children during warm up. Please remind your children to stay off the lane ropes and no diving. Is there a minimum age limit or swimming standard? The club is open to swimmers of all standards. There are 12.5m races at the start of the evening (6pm). Any children who don‟t feel confident enough to swim a full 25m can get in and have a swim anyway in the 12.5m events. There are senior swimmers in each lane to help whenever a child wants to stop. No minimum age, no minimum swim time required. This race is perfect for younger siblings who want to „join in‟. You do not need to register swimmers who will only participate in 12.5m races, but children do need to be registered once they move up to the 25m races. Contact the committee to register any new swimmers.. The maximum age of swimmers is 13 years as at the 1 st of January, 2012. Do I have to attend every week? No – swim club is on every Friday evening during Terms 4 and 1, once you have paid your annual membership fee that covers you for participation in any and all Friday night swim meets. You can attend as many or as few as you wish. I’m not sure if my children will want to participate, can we come along one evening and see if they like it? Absolutely. You are welcome to come along and have one free trial evening at any stage in the season. Just email swimclub@ascotss.eq.edu.au and let us know you‟re coming. 3
