Club Newsletter – 27 October 2015
We are now into our fourth week of club nights. With over 60 swimmers the nights are full of great
swims and personal bests. Noodle races, 12.5m, 25m, 50 m and the longer events are making Tuesday
nights at St Eddies pool the place to be.
A big thanks to Desley for her time recordings whilst Dave was away last week.
There are also a number of big swimming events coming up which will see a number of the kids
involved and we wish them all the best as they strive to better their times amongst other swimmers
from around Brisbane.
This weekend we have 10 swimmers representing CYMS St Edmund’s at the Brisbane Senior
Metropolitan Championships at Chandler. We wish Elly Burling (6 events), Grace Chandler (2 events),
Jordan Harton (4 events), Josh McIntyre (5 events), Trae Norbury (5 events), Max Roche (2 events),
Nathaniel Smith (5 events), Britney Summerville (7 events), Tahnee Summerville (2 events), Aiden
Tuihalangingie (2 events) all the very best.
Of course you can keep up with how your friends are fairing at these meets by jumping into the ‘Meet
Mobile’ app.
Have a super night tonight!!
Remember – there is no swimming next Tuesday night – the night of the Melbourne Cup. This is not
because we are that confident about choosing the winner or the trifecta and there might not be
anyone here – but because the college has an important event in the Schofield Centre. We will be back
on Tuesday 10 November.
IMPORTANT:STORM WARNINGS
The weather has been amazing of late. With summer approaching, it also means the storm season is here. If there are storms
around and are active after 4pm, please refer to the website and our Facebook page to find out whether club night is still on.

WEEKLY LUCKY SWIMMER
Each week, we will be drawing a lucky swimmer award. The lucky swimmer will win a voucher from Birch, Carroll & Coyle
Ipswich, as well as a voucher for a hamburger, drink and a bag of lollies from our canteen. Good Luck in the draw tonight!!
Last week’s winner was Xavier Williams– enjoy your feast and movie.
WEEKLY RAFFLE
Each week we will be running a raffle to help raise money for our club. 50 tickets (numbers) are sold each week at $1 each,
with the winner winning $25. So choose your number and let’s hope you’re our fourth winner of the year. Last week’s winner
was the ever popular Mr Peter Dann, so congratulations – (Peter’s lucky number was number 6).
MARSHALLING
Each event will be called out through the night. Please listen out for the stroke and race length. Children are to gather in the
marshalling area for each event. We won’t be holding up races if children are out of the swimming pool area playing other
games. Children are to remain quiet in the marshalling area so they can hear their names called once, so they know their lane
and race. It is also important that swimmers be quiet for the start of each race.
STAR PERFORMANCES OF WEEK 3
Each week we will feature the best swims of the night. These are calculated by the percentage improvement against the
swimmer’s previous personal best swim.
This week we saw a new list of swimmers improving their times. Congratulations to Ryan Prenzler on his massive 25%
improvement in his 25m breaststroke time. Nathaniel Smith’s 4% improvement in the 50m butterfly is noteworthy because he
already is swimming incredibly fast times, so to beat his best by 1.5 seconds is not easy feat.
Jack Rathen’s achievement in the 50m freestyle comes from hard work. A new member of CYMS St Edmund’s squad, he has
turned up keen and enthusiastically completed every session to date.
Well done to all swimmers.
