The committee is pleased to announce that this year’s club championships will be held over 2 Friday nights. This is a change from our normal Sunday timeslot due to a clash with an important SESA event – The Brophy Shield in Canberra.

Entries must be submitted by Tuesday 20 March on the attached Multi Entry Card (no need to print on the coloured card – just print onto normal paper).

The cost remains the same as always – $1 per event.

There is a 6 event maximum for each swimmer with a maximum of 4 events to be swum on any one night.

On the multi entry card, use the left hand side card for night 1 and the right hand side for night 2.

SESA Championships – Wests Illawarra Club Champions

johngullick — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:55:22 +0000

Congratualations to all swimmers and families who travelled to Ulladulla for the SESA championships. Due to strong results and great participation, Wests Illawarra Aquatic won the club championship.

This championship is a first for our club now that we are a part of the larger SESA region. In the past, WIAQ was a dominant force in the more local SCAT area but it has taken 3 years to re-establish the club as the strongest in the region.

2012 WIAQ State Age Relay Teams Announced

johngullick — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 11:39:06 +0000

With all of the improvement shown by our swimmers this year, plus our new club members, selecting our relay teams for State Age has been very difficult.

It is acknowledged that the process has not gone smoothly and as a result some swimmers had inadvertently been placed in relay teams and some swimmers had been overlooked. These issues took some time to sort through and we apologise to all involved.

Attached to the following links are the teams for the 10-12yrs State Age and 13 & above State Age to be held on 7-8 January and 10-15 January respectively.

If your swimmer is unable to attend, please advise James or AJ urgently.
