Carnivals......
Throughout the season there are many swimming carnivals held and we encourage swimmers to participate as they can be quite fun. The carnivals are usually held on weekends and information about venues and dates are distributed during the season. Some carnivals are one-day events whilst others run for a whole weekend.
For new swimmers, a 'novice' carnival can be a good way to start. There are usually at least two of these held in this region during the season.

Transport to the carnival is the responsibility of each individual and it is expected that a parent or guardian will attend carnivals with swimmers. Heidi will let you and the swimmers know what time to arrive at the carnival to allow sufficient time to warm up before the events start.
The club has a number of shade shelters that are taken to carnivals and we call for volunteers to assist with transporting these (using the club trailer) to the venue and to also help set and pack these up.
At all carnivals, parents are called upon to assist with timekeeping. This is an easy activity that gets you right up close to the action and helps you to meet new people. It is a requirement that there are three timekeepers per lane and the carnival organisers determine how many lanes our club needs to assist with timekeeping, based on the number of swimmers our club has entered. Prior to the commencement of the carnival, a roster is established so that each parent assists with timekeeping for at least one hour.
