Club Activities

​Saturday Club Racing

Saturday Morning Club is held in the 50m pool at Lane Cove Aquatic Centre from 7am each Saturday morning through the Summer swimming season (October-March). Swimmers race in up to three races each Saturday.

Race distances of 25m, 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m are offered on a rotating calendar. Race times are recorded to track progress and cumulative point scores contribute to awards at the LCSC Annual Presentation Event.

Entries are undertaken via Swim Central or emailing saturdayclub@lanecoveswimclub.org.au

​For each race you swim, your time is recorded. Points are then calculated based on the difference between your graded and recorded times on the day. These points count towards the Summer Club Point Score. There are numerous age categories for each gender plus a Family Point Score if more than one family member swims.

Volunteers are needed for the smooth running of Saturday Club. Both adults and children alike can help. It is noted, a minimum of three Saturday Club mornings are to be swum to qualify for the club championships.

The full details of the Saturday Club are included in the LCSC Rules and Procedures available here.
