Do you want to stay swim fit during winter 2018 in preparation for the TC assault into 2019? Join the winter swim squad.
I have been asked on many occasions lately, whether Trinity offers winter swimming after school.
The answer is ‘that depends’.
Let me explain. There is no provision for after school swimming to take place in Terms 2 and 3. We would dearly love to offer this service and we have coaches (Myself, Matt Reaper, Jesse Moutia and a number of Year 12 boys) ready and willing to coach.
To cut to the chase, this service needs to be cost neutral to Trinity, therefore it is a user pays service. It can only work if 30+ students wish to swim in Term 2.
2018 is the first year in a long time that I have had 30 enquiries, so we will aim to offer the service.
If the squad is to go ahead, we need more than 30 signees by Friday this week. The sign-up link is below.

So where to now;
- Sign your child up for the session/s that you wish him to participate in. Note- that Yr 4,5,6 swimmers can attend any session. 7,8,9 swimmers can not sign up for a Monday/Wednesday session, nor can Yr 10-12 sign up for a Tuesday/Thursday (due to after school sport).
- If we reach the target of 30 swimmers by Friday 9pm, I will send a confirmation email to each participant (parent) and payment will need to be made via the Trinity Online store-swimming page.
- If we do not reach the target of 30 swimmers by Friday 9pm, an apology email will be sent, stating that we are unable to provide the service this year.
I am hopeful that with your support, we will manage to achieve our target number.
Assuming swimming is on, the following applies;
Dates and times- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, 3.30-4.30pm. Term 2 Week 2-9, Term 3 Week 1-8 (Summer sport training will re-commence in Week 9, so pool out of action at this time). No holiday training.
Cost- 1/2 sessions per week = $150 per term, 3/4 sessions per week = $200 per term.
Who can join- All students, Yr 4-12. Non-TC siblings welcome. Swimmers will be grouped into squads of similar level.
In conclusion, we hope you understand the situation. We know that many of the boys enjoyed the after-school swimming in Term 1 and would love to continue in Term 2-3. We would love to keep helping them improve. Round up friends and sign up.
