The date for the 2010 Pop Sidwell has been set for November 20, 2010.

The Pool and the Caboto Centre have been booked. The club wishes to thank Mickey and Jack who have been the Meet Managers for many years. Unfortunately they are not available for this meet so the executive is looking for a new member to step up to the plate.

The Meet Manager's responsibilities are to: 1) obtain the meet sanction

2) create the information package,

3) arrange for the officials and

4) coordinate at the swim meet.

1. Crowded Lanes – Some of the lanes are getting too crowded for some swims. If you arrive and there are are already 2 or more swimmers in your usual lane than in adjacent lanes, then please swim in an adjacent lane. We have asked Pal to help with this. If he asks you to move to another lane then please give it a try. You’ll get faster if you challenge yourself a little.
