Swimming is normally over 50 metres but a shorter distance may be considered if there is any interest. The water does not start to get cold until late May. Summer Swimming participants are covered for Winter Swimming without any additional fee. Closest to the time selected by the two swimmers wins the relay event on the Sunday.

Club Championships

In order to qualify for Championship Selection, you must swim over 5 separate weeks no later than 4 January 2026. For Age and Senior Championships, you also need to swim in that stroke once this season. Although championship distances are set for each age group and event, you do not have to swim that distance to be selected. Open and Junior Championship are over 100m except for Butterfly which will be over 50m. Those qualifying for Open and Junior Championship selection must have swum at least once at this distance to be selected. Please see the Information for Members booklet for full rules.

WASA Carnivals

WASA holds several carnivals during the season – mostly for Junior Swimmers. Membership includes capitation to WASA. The events are usually held at the Warringah Aquatic Centre. There is a small fee for each event and competitors and spectators will need to pay to enter the Centre. Mary Houten is the co-ordinator for these carnivals and can be contacted at collaroyswim@gmail.com. The WASA link is at the bottom of this page.

Being financial

Swimmers/families must pay their membership within 2 weeks of commencing swimming.
Swimming points will be awarded and eligibility for championship swims will be accrued from day 1 with 2 ‘grace’ weeks. Should fees not be paid within the first 2 weeks of swimming, swimming points will not be allocated, and eligibility for championships will not accrue until the date of payment. Swimmers/families do not have to return on the first day of swimming season. The rule applies from the first day of your return to swimming.
