Congratulations to
Laura Purcell, our first trainer of the week.
Some of our new swimmers were given their 'welcome
backpacks' last week. Click here to see the photos.
We have had so many new swimmers join this season we have
run out of pack, but they have been ordered and will be
handed out next week at club. If you can't see
yourself in any photos and would like your photo on the web
page, please come and see Judy next week.

Come along to the launch of the renovations
at the swimming pool and meet Brisbane's own Australian
Olympic Hero -
Stephanie Rice
The Wilston Crocs swim club has been
working hard over the winter renovating the pool area. To
celebrate the new facilities the club will be holding a
Grand Opening on Friday 17th October from
6.00 - 10.00pm. Brisbane's own Olympic Hero -
Stephanie Rice has kindly agreed to come along
to officially open the renovations and meet with people.
There will be food and drinks available and prizes on the
night. For swimmers we will be reducing the number of
strokes to Freestyle, Butterfly and the 100m Medley to get
the opening celebrations swinging fully into action by
7.30pm. It's a great opportunity to see the club in
action, socialise with others and of course meet
Stephanie. All are welcome. If you have any questions
please feel free to contact the club.

Come and join the friendly Wilston Crocodiles Swimming Club.
We are a club promoting fun and excellence in swimming and
community spirit.
Wilston Crocs is a club that you can come every week,
every second week or as often as you can. The children have
a great time swimming and socialising with new friends. If
you wish to be a competitive swimmer, that is catered for
also within the club, by our coaching staff and by attending
carnivals.
Wilston Crocs is open to all families from all local
areas and schools. We have many families from schools
other than Wilston and many from St Columbus. New members
are warmly welcomed into the club each year. Both social and
competitive swimmers are valued. We support all of our
swimmers and encourage them to achieve to their greatest
potential.
Our club meet is on Friday nights, during
school Terms 4 and 1 at 6pm SHARP. We conduct swimming
races in all strokes (over different nights). The heats are
arranged according to the swimmers best time, regardless of
age/gender, fostering an individual child's performance
rather then winning or losing.
Over the winter there have been some
wonderful renovations to our office, canteen and BBQ areas,
providing an even better experience for all Crocs and their
families.
Sign on for the club must occur before the
first swim club night of Friday 10th October.
Please email
info@wilstonswim.org.au for further details or call 3356
0874 and your calls will be returned from Monday 29th.

A huge well done to Nick Bryant for achieving 2 milestones
on the weekend. Nick won a bronze medal in the 100m
Backstroke at the Qld short course titles and also placed
top ten in 2 other events. Also Nick has qualified for the
first Australian Medley development squad which is
selected based on times through out the year. Excellent
work Nick your winter training is paying off!!!
Finally, Wilston Crocs are now the National Champions
on mypb.com. We achieved this by entering our club times
on their web page. So, as the season starts we want
to make sure we can win again. See Judy for further
details.
