CLUB NIGHTS
ELIGIBILITY
All registered WWSC members are welcome to swim at our Club Nights. There are no qualifying times, however we do encourage you to talk to your Coaches about which events you should enter. This is particularly important for newer swimmers considering entering a longer distance event.
Swimmers registered with Swimming NSW, but not with WWSC may apply to the committee to compete as a visitor but they will not be eligible for Championship Trophies.
