Hi Jets families, It’s half way through the club season already…the time has flown past. With the weather we've had in Brisbane, it’s amazing we only lost one club night. Those of you who have been members for the past few seasons, will have noticed the growth in numbers. Every season we grow which is great. This season, club nights are averaging around 100 swimmers each night, about 15 more than last year and 25 more than 2008-2009.

We have had lots of PB's swum each club night. With all of the practice and as they grow, the kids are moving from the 16m into 25m events, and lots of promotions to the 50m Events. It's great to see the constant improvement.

Those who are swimming at carnivals have obviously benefited from the weekly racing. We have had great results at all carnivals we have attended. The club is currently running 3rd in the 1st division competition. 15 swimmers made state qualifying times, all competing this week at the QLD championships. And of course the great results we had last Saturday in the state relays, the highlight being the 9-10 boys Freestyle becoming State Champions. If not before, I will see you all in the New Year. Have a great time over Christmas.

Nigel Oram Club President

Did anyone notice a new face at our last club night? We were very happy to have Renato’s Mum, Vina, visit us (all the way from Brazil!). I’m sure Renato has missed his Mum’s cooking!!! We just ask Vina not to take Renato back with her!
