Latest Weekly Report
Week 2
The Mother's Day swim was conducted in near perfect conditions. Yet again the
tides were friendly and the water temperatures less than Arctic. Numbers were
excellent, and the club thanks all those who rearranged their commitments to
include their dose of "winter" swimming.
The results this week confirmed the emergence of Bob Callaghan as a genuine
threat in the 33, 66 and overall competition for year 2012. Accordingly, his
odds in the overall have shortened from 5-2 into 6-4. Heidi Norman had a day to
remember with finals appearances in both the 33 and 66. Amongst the time
trialists, Paul Galea, Brad Stevens and Quet Bell looked impressive and will
give the handicappers a few headaches in the upcoming weeks. One of those
handicappers, Tracey Jannusch was an easy winner of the 33 and may need to take
a more strict approach in respect of her own handicapping situation. Caroline
Smith, Gordon Manuel and Steve Bell, Eskimo's finest, are finding it tough to
rise to the next level. and mid week training is recommended....if that doesn't
work, there's always the steroid approach.
Great to see some familiar faces return to the racing ranks............the
Stents, namely Bobbi and George, the Sonny and Cher of the Eskies. Chubby and
Victoria came down from the Tweed Coast to test the waters, and of course the
great Paul "Boof" Smith back from exile with a friendly handicap and straight
into the winner's circle in his 66 heat.
Many thanks to the usual helpers on the promenade, and to those in the kitchen.
Fees ($40 and $50) are, of course, due....see John Stewart.
Important dates coming up.....June 10th Pub crawl, possible interclub swim with
the Bronte Splashers June 17th????????? and Metrops July 1st.
See you all next week! Music theme, songs relating to green..a celebration of
the famous "mushy peas". Feel free to wear green!
