Winter Swimming

Congratulations to all Wilston Crocs swimmers and their parents for a great 09\10 summer swimming season. I would like to thank all of you especially the committee members for all the support I have received in my first summer as Head Coach. From day one I have been welcomed and encouraged. This has certainly played a big part in the success the club and its swimmers have enjoyed this past summer.  

As we all know time keeps moving on and it’s now time to turn our focus to the next six months of winter training and the all important lead up to the 2010/11 summer season.
