Earlier this season, we asked for feedback on trialing evening short course racing, and the response was overwhelmingly positive! We’re excited to announce that Parramatta Memorial Swim Club has secured the outdoor pool at Parramatta Aquatic Centre for three Friday night race meets:
📅 Dates: March 21, March 28, and April 4, 2025
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Location: Parramatta Aquatic Centre
What is Short Course Racing?
Unlike our usual Saturday morning meets in a 50m pool, these races will be held in a 25m pool, making for faster-paced events, more turns, and a fresh racing experience. The evening setting under lights adds a whole new energy and atmosphere, making it an exciting change from our regular format.
Race Format & Schedule
Each night will feature five events, mixing up strokes and distances.
| Week 1 – March 21 ✅ 100m Freestyle ✅ 50m Backstroke ✅ 50m Breaststroke/Freestyle Combo ✅ 25m Backstroke ✅ 4x50m Medley Relay | Week 2 – March 28 ✅ 100m Medley ✅ 50m Breaststroke ✅ 50m Backstroke/Freestyle Combo ✅ 25m Breaststroke ✅ 4x50m Freestyle Relay | Week 3 – April 4 ✅ 100m Breaststroke ✅ 50m Freestyle ✅ 50m Butterfly/Freestyle Combo ✅ 25m Freestyle ✅ 4x50m Breaststroke Relay |

Trial Event – Your Feedback Matters!
This is a limited three-night trial, and we’d love for as many members as possible to come along and give it a go. After the events, we’ll gather feedback to see if short course racing should become a regular part of the club’s schedule.
