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.
