Hello Croc Families,

Congratulations to all swimmers who competed in their first IM event on Friday night! Our next IM special event will be in Week 8.

What a fabulous turn out we had for our first carnival, the Principals Cup, last Saturday. Well done to the Crocs who smashed it in the pool with 760 points, followed by Marshall Road with 701 points and Mayfield with 506 points. A huge thanks to Nat our Carnival Convenor, our Nominator Mark and his team and to all our wonderful volunteers, thank you.

On Thursday 4 December (week 9) we hold our largest fundraiser for the Swim Club, the Camp Hill SIPS Senior School (Years 3-6) Swim Carnival. We cook and serve 475 sausages, 350 icy cups, drinks and home bake items. We therefore need your help on the day. We know many will be taking time off work to attend the carnival, so if you would be willing to assist in any way on the day we’d love your help.

You can order your child’s (Years 3 – 6 only) meal deal here https://schoolshoponline.net.au/camphillipss/eventdetails.aspx?ID=350 and log in as usual.

You can sign up here to volunteer https://volunteersignup.org/E7RBK

If you are able to donate any home baked goodies to sell please sign up at the above link. Donations can be dropped to the pool canteen on the morning of the carnival, thank you.

Meanwhile we know many of you have been asking about the Club T-Shirts after seeing them arrive and the swimmers and their support crew (aka families) wearing them on Friday and Saturday – how great did they look!! We ordered a few additional shirts so if you would like to purchase one please pop up to the pool canteen on Friday night. Shirts are $30 and once these sell out we will be taking orders for our next bulk order which will possibly be early in Term 1.

Finally, if you have any photos from club nights or carnivals, please send them to us at [email protected] and [email protected] so that we can check the photo consent before adding to our socials and photo display at the pool, thank you.

See you poolside,

Swim with the Crocs!
