| SESA Update
The SESA Committee have met twice now to commence arrangements for the upcoming season; with nearly all of theclubs having new Presidents and committee’s there is a freshness and some new learnings by all. It has been great to work with the other Presidents and confirm that we want to see SESA competitions striving to promotegood sports, fun and local competitions for the kids!
We also welcome back into SESA this year the Dolphin’s Amateur Swim Club based in Bordertown due to scheduling they won’t have a dedicated SESA meet in 2020/2021 but we will look to support their Dolphin’s LC Carnival on 28th February 2021 - with a Dedicated SESA meet in the 2021/2022 season.
This year SESA will hold 5 meets - 2x in Keith 29th Nov and 12th Dec, our own competition at the Kingston Pool 17th Jan and 2x in Penola likely 21st Feb and 21st March TBC.
In order to be eligible for the SESA Age Championship trophies you must have completed the championship swims at a minimum of 3 out of the 5 events.
At this stage entry to those events is not open and we will be having a session for parents at the Camp to help parents navigate the entry process in Swim Central.
