Summer Swimming

Our Summer Swimming season has commenced. Races are for all ages and standards, adults and children. Races are time handicapped so everyone can have a chance of winning and swim as competitively or leisurely as they desire. Children’s races start at 15 metres (Parents can be in the water with the child if necessary) up to 100m for the more advanced swimmers. Children automatically move up to the next distance when they meet the qualifying time for that distance. Seniors normally swim in our 50m races but can elect to swim in the 100m races or the shorter 25m Vets Butterfly and Backstroke. Races start at 10.00am. Each week we have Freestyle and two other events plus Vets events for those aged 30 and over. Please join using the button on this page. Registration for Sunday Swimming and Wednesday Long Distance Swimming is done using the buttons on this page. The close off for Sunday swimming is 9.45am and for Wednesday is 7.15pm. Please come to the clubhouse (up the stairs on the beach side of the surf club building) no later than 9.45am (Wednesdays 7.15pm) if you are unable to register online or are new to the club.

Club Championships

In order to qualify for Championship Selection, you must swim over 5 separate weeks no later than 5 January 2025. 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.
