President’s Report
2008 - 2009
Swim Club
The 2008 / 2009 season has been very rewarding for Maroochydore Swim Club and I am very proud and
privileged to be part of the enthusiastic committee as we move into the new season.
We have struggled with membership during the past year, as we compete with the many sporting
opportunities available to our young sportsmen and sportswomen on the Sunshine Coast. Our membership
numbers are strongest in the junior ranks, and we continue to nurture our young swim stars of tomorrow.
Club Night Program …
We have had a very rewarding season with our club night program running on a Wednesday evening. This
is predominantly and enthusiastically attended by our more junior swimmers, where they are given the
opportunity to practice their racing skills in a familiar and non-competitive environment.
Local / Regional / State / National Competition …
The accomplishments of our swimmers, at every level of competition, over the past year, have been
exceptional. We have proud to be able to report not only some great individual results, but more importantly,
some fantastic team accomplishments.
Committee and the New Season …
Thank you to those who have volunteered their services on the Maroochydore Swim Club Committee for the
coming season. For many of you, this is a new role. You are all very special people and I look forward to a
great year ahead.
TO ALL OUR SWIMMERS …
WELL DONE on your FANTASTIC EFFORTS and GREAT RESULTS of 2008 / 2009
Our very best of wishes to all swimmers for a successful season ahead,
at whatever level you may strive for.
Gayle Dowsett
President, Maroochydore Swim Club
