As everyone who is a member of Splashers or who has ever been to Splashers knows, Ole Swivelneck Tyack can be a thorough pain in the neck, whether it be skiting loudly when he wins or peacocking on the pool deck.

Love him or hate him he is a canny swimmer who regularly features in the winner’s circle, accompanied by mass well-deserved booing from his competition,

he loves being the centre of attention. 

The Western Districts Swimming Carnival will be held at Forbes on February 14, a romantic day out for your Valentine, and 50 years since the introduction of decimal currency in Australia. 

If you are planning on swimming at Forbes and haven’t yet nominated, see Ron or Vicky immediately. 

The swimming club has welcomed a number of new swimmers this season and we welcome our newest member Wal Wally Simpson who has just joined our ranks.

We meet at the pool at 8.45am on Sunday mornings followed by a delicious breakfast at the RSL Club afterwards, then chancing our luck in the meat and chicken draws.
