About this event

We run three training sessions a week. With everything you need for pool and open water competitions as well as fitness, fun and friendship.

We run three sessions a week. Non-members can attend two sessions before needing to join the club.

Training is based around preparing for competitions (pool and open water) and covers fitness as well as technique, skills and race specific training. Sessions are also suitable for members wanting to train for fitness and social reasons.

Sessions run for 75 minutes (60 minutes training plus a 15 minute cool down).

Our coach

We are fortunate to have a Swimming Australia Advanced Licence coach. Tracy has many years experience training competitive swimmers and adult swimmers.

Our timetable

  • Monday 6.30-7.30pm
  • Wednesday 6.30-7.30pm
  • Saturday 9.00-10.00am

Am I Good Enough?

Speed doesn’t matter, but fitness does. As long as you can swim 400m of freestyle comfortably, and cover at least 1km when you go to the pool, you’ve got what it takes.

For more information go to the Yarra Roughies website.
