This FUN SWIM™ event is designed especially for developing swimmers who are ready to try racing. Whether it’s their very first race or a chance to practise racing skills, the evening will be relaxed, supportive, and focused on fun.

Swimmers will have the opportunity to:

  • See what competitive swimming is all about

Upon arrival, all swimmers will receive an athlete pack and will be guided through what to expect at swim meets. This is a fantastic chance to try racing for the first time in a welcoming environment.
