However, it was an action packed night of racing, fun and frivolity earlier. 

Organisers at the club are also excited to announce the start of “Learn to Swim” programs at the Eden Olympic Pool.

The classes will begin in mid-to-late November, depending on the response from the community. 

The classes will be headed up by fully qualified instructors in a safe and welcoming environment. 

If you are interested, contact aquatic program coordinator Katerina Scarpin on 0428 658 416.

The lessons cater to beginner swimmers right through to squad training. 

Organisers stopped and asked Alycia Collins why her two youngsters Tayah and Brodie White why they were so keen to be part of the swimming club. 

Collins said it was an opportunity to head along and have a family night out. 

“The girls are practicing their strokes and it is comforting for me to see them both be competent in the water,” Collins said. 

The girls are both developing quickly, with Brodie now competing in the 25 metre events, while Tayah tackles the 10-metre swims. 

“We all love the atmosphere its very relaxing and I enjoy watching my girls swim,” Collins said. 

“It’s also been nice to meet some new people, and everyone has been really nice.”

Swimmers enjoyed a feed of chicken and salad on the night with a number of new swimmers enjoying the tucker after taking on longer swims. 

Randell Ewin and Lochlan Fox joined the 50 metre swim events  and Fox even reeled in a personal best in the backstroke. 

Organisers said it was great to see all the kids enjoying the nights out swimming, they suspect Susan Kennedy is smiling under the water, while Sarncha Adams had some perfect diving form from behind the blocks. 

A number of swimmers improved their personal bests during the recent swim and are looking forward to the challenge this week. 

Broady Dunn set some blistering pace to shave almost eight seconds off his time in the 25- metre freestyle. 

He now has a time of 42.63 seconds to beat. 

Sophie Switzer is another strong contender after she knocked off five seconds from her previous best.

She is now in the hunt to do the 50-metre backstroke in under 1.02.94. 

Other swimmers also shaved valuable seconds off their best and will be looking to conquer new best times.
