President's Report

Thank you for the opportunity to present this the 109th Annual Report As I write this report we have just had presented to us the recommendations from the Review of the state of Swimming New Zealand. If these recommendations are adopted by 2014 Swimming Otago as a single regional body will no longer exist. Change is inevitable and as a sport we need to move forward, to ensure we can continue to grow and compete on the world stage. As I reflect over the past year there have been some major highlights and some things that we have not done so well. I am sure those of you that were here will remember this time last year we sadly remembered the life of our Patron Bob Smith (he died 2 days prior to the AGM). While remembering Bob it is also important to note other swimming identities that we have farewelled over the course of the year, each club will know their identities, (as does Swimming New Zealand) however one of the Otagos losses pool side this year was Punch Tremaine (Bernard). Swimming Otago was well represented at his funeral and I am sure you will join me in offering our condolences to Dot and the family. The highlights of the year I would like to warmly welcome Mary McFarlane to the role of Patron, Mary is still very active in all aspects of Swimming competitions and many will recognize her as the wee lady who starts the races, Kiwi know her has a member of their club. I know her as a very reliable and extremely knowledgeable source of information, Swimming New Zealand know her for her ability to officiate at National competition and a member of the Blazer committee. Welcome Mary. Moana pool has hummed with Swimmers from all over New Zealand on many occasions this year starting with the Otago/Canterbury Champs (the carnival committee report within the document will give you more detail for all the competitions), this was followed by South Island champs and then we hosted the National Div 2 competition. All events were very well run and a credit to the organizing committees. I am very conscious of all the time and effort it takes preparing for events this large and most of this is achieved prior to the meet even starting. Thank you to all who helped. It saddened and frustrated us all when we reviewed the officials (time keepers, IOTs, JOs and referees) lists and found that had we had to rely on Otago only officials for these meets we would have had to cancel them. Otago champs on its own would have been a non event. Our Swimmers and coaches continue to be our main highlights and Otago swimming once again has every reason to feel proud of the achievements of all of you in particular the records broken (I seem to have signed many certificates) the selection for national teams and the gaining of coaching awards.(Andy Adair is now one of only 7 Coaches in NZ that has gained the gold certificate) Congratulations to you all on your achievements from personal bests to New Zealand recognition. Results of the regional, national and international competitions are well presented in the latter pages of the report As demonstrated in the annual financial report we are all reliant on the funding of some sort this year we were well supported by the Lion Foundation for the grants received these assist us in running Otago regional events and sending a regional manager to National meets. Special thanks to you. I am also happy to report the Swimmers development fund is growing thanks to the committee who oversee the fund. Swimmers who meet the criteria are able to look forward to the fruition of this venture.

Once again this season has not been without its challenges, not just Swimming Otago Management committee but everyone in the sport. My opening statement last year was “Activities within the 2010-2011 year reflect the ever changing world we live in and appear to be a precursor to some of the changes we can expect to see within swimming from the management of swimmers to the existing regional structure”. This year there has been at the request of the Swimming New Zealand board and regions a formal independent review of the Swimming and Swimmers in NZ by an independent body. The outcome was recently released and individuals, clubs and regions have been encouraged to provide feedback. We await now the outcome of the feedback and direction from here. I personally am disappointed by the proposed dropping of Learn to Swim in 2010; the 2011 road toll was119. The lives lost from drowning were 123. It is imperative that someone at a national level drives Learn to Swim and in a manner that is affordable to all. The DCC has thrown some curve balls this year with the proposed charging of clubs for lane use within club time and the allocation of pool space and coaching structure at Moana pool while these are not challenges that Swimming Otago as a body can solve but as individuals and clubs you have all had the opportunity to feed back and the reduction in the price of lane charging indicates you are a powerful voice. The timing equipment is also proving to be a challenge there is more information in the report on equipment. This weekend I have been at Moana pool at the Neptune carnival and as I was looking around the pool I was reminded that I often hear prior to and during an AGM the statement there are not enough Management members that have kids swimming. The inference is we do not know what is it is like to have a competitive swimmer in the current environment. The management committee may not have competitive swimmers now but they have in the past and are the nuts and bolts of every meet that is held in Otago. They are the ones that organize the events, set the pool up, put in the electronic equipment, make themselves be available to be key officials, and are the ones that are still there at the end of the meet putting it all away again. They would like more assistance if you would like to give back to the sport that gives to your children. They are also a team I as the president of the region cannot do without. Thank you to each and every one of you for your contribution to making Swimming Otago the sound region it is. Mandy Grainger President

Portfolio Reports

Volunteers Report

Competition involves the support, time and effort from many people. Before the event even starts, people have considered the format for the swimming races, organised a group of club representatives to ensure duties are covered for the entire competition, arranged the officials appropriately and have checked that the automatic operating equipment is functioning accordingly. And then the meet starts..........

These wonderful people are called VOLUNTEERS. Within Otago this sport would not exist without you. Being a volunteer can vary from feeling like a rewarding role at the end of a successful swim meet to a thankless task, e.g. when one has to go out at the end of a busy day to a planning meeting, or as a parent you have to get up to take your child and others to the pool at 5am. Swimmers, coaches and teachers please remember to thank the volunteers who have given up their time to make this sport successful for you. I thank you all.

Swimming requires more volunteers than the other sports for each meet As the person who is often challenged with allocating out the roles to ensure the meet can run so that your child is not disadvantaged as they compete I am often disappointed by the lack of people who put their names forward prior to the meet instead we often feel on the day we have to coerce into assisting on the day. I am sure this is as frustrating for you as parents as it is us who want to get the kids in the pool swimming.

Equipment

This year we have purchased new Watches they are nice and compact. Our electronic s are slowly coming to the end of their useful life we have a good team of volunteers who continue to patch them so that your child’s time will be a recognized national time should a record be broken.

The business case for new equipment is written and applications to funding bodies have been submitted, the quote came in at Three hundred and twenty thousand dollars not much if you say it fast but in the current climate hard to find. This will give us timing equipment for both ends of the pool a must if we are to continue to run national meets at Moana and other pools within the region (yes we want mobile timing equipment), we have also asked for a new state of the art score board. If you or your club feels you can assist in the purchase of the equipment please talk with either myself or the treasurer

Technical Officials

The Technical Panel of Alan Hale, Colin Walker, Allan McMorran, Michael Dodds, Vicki Bown

and Kay Alexander.has meet during the year in an effort to become more active in encouraging more parents to be officials at swimming meets and to improve the mentoring system and communication between key officials. The database of officials is being updated and it is hoped to add the names of those who are just starting to be mentored to it, so that they can be monitored to ensure they become qualified. The panel has also looked at some of the information and log books used by other regions in the hope of using them in our mentoring system.

Lynn Sutherland of the NZ Technical panel held a seminar at which 12 people attended. Those who attended gained information on number official positions. Lynn Sutherland also attended one of our Technical panel meetings where a number of technical issues were discussed and Lynn agreed to raise some issues that need to be changed at the next NZ Technical panel meeting.

We are still struggling to get parents offering to become officials and we are looking at ways of helping Clubs to encourage parents to become involved. This work is still in progress. There is still an urgent need to get more people involved in the key positions of Starters, JOS, Recorders and Referees.

The panel recently sent out information to clubs about an interpretation of the breaststroke rules and the role of the technical panel in an effort to improve communication. Clubs are encouraged to discuss any technical matter with any member of the Technical Panel.

With Division II being held in Dunedin in April a number of Otago Officials were given the opportunity to gain experience in some of the key positions of a National meet. This was a great opportunity for our officials who gained valuable experience.

The mentoring system has seen a number of new officials qualify in the 2011/2012 season. Congratulations to :- Desiree Crooks (Kiwi), Ian Van Staden, Peter Deans, Matthew Heaton (Waves), Wayne Paul (Queenstown) who qualified as IOT’s and Colin Armstrong (Neptune) on qualifying as starter.

SNZ appoints officials to its National meets and this season Otago officials appointed included Alan Hale, Allan McMorran and Mary McFarlane. Alan Hale was also appointed to the Oceania Championships in Noumea .

Competition

This has been another busy year for this portfolio. We have continued to produce a varied calendar that tried to provide opportunities for all levels of swimmer. Due to the lack of a 50m pool in Christchurch the Aquagym Challenge Meet was held at Moana pool in October and in January a combined Otago & Canterbury Championships were held. The combining of the championships meant that the meet was extended by 2 sessions and a complicated method was used to allow each region to get their own results. It was a big learning experience and feedback from clubs in both regions will be considered and used to streamline the meet in 2013. In February 2012 the South Island Country & Town Championships were held at the Cromwell pool. Thank you to Cromwell Swimming club for their organization and hospitality. The Division II Competition was held in April at Moana Pool. It has been several years since a national meet was last held in Dunedin. Michael Dodds and the organising committee should be congratulated on all the hard work they put in before and during the meet to make everything run so smoothly. Everyone at the last session of the Competition was able to witness the unusual result of a triple dead heat for 1st place in the boys 16-18years 50m freestyle final. After that, hopefully it won’t be too long before Dunedin is able to host another national meet.

Finally a big thank you must go to all officials who give up considerable amounts of their time, the small group that make sure the electronic timing equipment continues to work and those who take on the responsibility of organizing meets. Without you the events on the calendar would not happen.

Development

The past year has seen massive upheaval and change within New Zealand swimming and other leading sports. SPARC, the NZ Academy of Sport and the SNZ High Performance arena have all undergone major revamps. These agencies are responsible for developing and supporting the country’s elite athletes. The latest SNZ review has made several recommendations involving massive changes within SNZ management, regional areas and implementation of policies. If adopted in its entirety, it will mean SNZ will no longer be responsible for delivering “Teach the teacher” courses such as ASTA, ASA and Bronze, Silver and Gold Coach accreditation.

On a more local note, the South Island coaches have been fairly proactive in working together for the betterment of coaching skills within the South Island, although this does seem to have slowed down recently. However, the main area of concern is the grassroots level of swimming – the swimming clubs. It has been very difficult to get any information from the swimming clubs and delegates on the types of development they would like. These could be development courses for 4 different groups:-

• Volunteer learn-to-swim club night instructors

• Squad coaches (professional & volunteer)

• Swimmers

• Or a combination of all As the majority of swimming clubs in Otago operate a “learn-to-swim” development programme using volunteer instructors on club nights, it would be great if they had a mentoring system where they had access to answers for their queries regarding swim teaching. To this end we tried to establish a “Volunteer Instructor Database” so they could receive emails regarding technique skills etc. However only Dunedin, Kiwi, Port Chalmers & Zenith clubs responded (that’s only a 25% response rate). We are here to help but we do need input from our Otago members.

In order for Otago to increase its swimming numbers and improve its overall performance results, we need to keep striving for excellence in coaching skills, technique skills and new improved ways to achieve these. Chinese proverbs offer much wisdom: Tell me and I’ll forget, Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I’ll understand I encourage all Otago swimming clubs/coaches/volunteers/swimmers to keep striving for improvement. In conclusion I would like to finish with another wise Chinese proverb: Learning is like rowing upstream, not to advance is to drop back.

Funding

This year we were successful in obtaining funding from Lion foundation towards pool hire and medals towards all meets held within Otago. We are very grateful for this support, as this year our swim meets have benefited not only our Otago swimmers, but also aided our Canterbury swimming neighbours who have not had an easy year. Dunedin Masters ran the masters South Island Competition and were very appreciative of the support from Swimming Otago and gave a generous donation which helped Swimming Otago purchase the new stopwatches. Currently we are in the process of applying to a variety of funding agencies for a full revamp of out timing equipment, hopefully the 2013 report shows we have been successful.

Promotion

It is appropriate to acknowledge the support given by the various newspapers and particularly the Otago Daily Times in promoting the various meets run in Otago. While we would like to have more promotion of the sport this is limited by what the editor is going to allow at the time the information is available. It has been good to see some more articles in the paper in the last two months. There has been limited promotion from a regional prospective but it is acknowledged that various clubs have been promoting the achievement of their swimmers at various meets which helps keep the profile of swimming in the public arena.

Club Report Section 2011-2012 Season

Annual Report of the Alexandra Swimming Club I have much pleasure in presenting the annual report for the Alexandra Swimming Club for the year 2011/2012. Now in its 92nd year, club membership stands at around 90 swimmers inclusive of club night members during the summer months. Competitive squad membership, under the guidance of head coach Barry Dick, sits at 17 swimmers and Development squad membership, under the direction of coach Shane Allan, is currently fully subscribed at 26 swimmers, aged 8 years and above. The club continues its strong tradition of teaching throughout the summer months via its club night program while providing support and coaching throughout the year for swimmers from both training squads. All of this is only possible through the generous support and efforts of club families and individuals who volunteer their time, energy and enthusiasm. On behalf of all the swimmers who are fortunate enough to benefit from the efforts of these supporters within our small but loyal local swimming fraternity, I wish to thank them, in particular the volunteer coaches, club coaches and hard working committee members (past and present) and parents who continue to offer their support. With the prevailing demands upon personal time that exist, one of the main focuses for the club during the next 6-12 months will continue to be the recruitment of new committee members. This will enable the workload to be spread to a greater degree, thereby enabling the club to better focus on core activities while also enabling it to explore new opportunities and further encourage more swimmers into its competitive program. The usual challenges remain of keeping costs at an affordable level where-ever possible and the continuing importance of securing funds by way of club fund-raising initiatives or funding applications. Operational costs and securing pool access at peak times remain a key financial focus and management issue for the club. Whilst pool hire charges, travel costs and geographic factors coupled with simple demographics remain a significant hurdle to growing the sport within the immediate district, on the positive side, the club has the luxury of two very experienced and dedicated coaches along with a group of supportive and dedicated parents, a number of whom regularly have been putting many long hours into the affairs of the club. This is clearly not sustainable in the long term and creates a higher risk of committee churn if the demands of the club dominate their other daily activities. Processing meet entries, ensuring club accounts are maintained in a sound financial state, planning and co-ordinating home & away meet gathering and providing technical support and expertise, both at home and away at local, regional and national meetings. Such activities, all to often unnoticed, continue to ensure the viability of the club and the smooth running of events by all those who attend these throughout the year. It is with regret that the club committee has been informed that its Treasurer of the past 18 months (Sara Dick) has indicated her intention to stand down at the forth-coming AGM. Sara had the unenviable position of taking on the treasurer's role at relatively short-notice and coming to grips with the clubs accounting system while inheriting a back-log of manual receipting, so it is due to her efforts that the club accounts have continued to operate. It has clearly required many long hours of work to maintain and action all aspects of the position. This is something that the committee is very mindful of and the intention is to try an identify any further efficiencies and reduce manual processing where possible and split the role if practical or aim to make it more managable and less time-consuming. This will provide some relief for the treasurer-elect and/or their backup. While Sara has indicated her desire to continue to be actively involved in club activities at competitive meetings. The committee would like to

formally acknowledge the significant effort in the role of club treasurer, wish Sara well for the future and thank her for her dedication and commitment over the past year. Joining the committee over the past year has been Karen Begg, Bronwyn Rees and Wendy Biggs. It has been great having Karen, Wendy and Bronwyn joining the committee and while Wendy has taken on the role of club secretary, Bronwyn undertook the administration of club night swimming registrations and co-ordinating the club night coaches. The remaining members of our committee are our two experienced coaches (Barry Dick & Shane Allan), Robyn Braden (our confectionery sales champion), Lynda Cook (club recorder and anchor-woman of all things related to technical officials) and Janene Bennie (who also moonlights as the assistant Development squad coach in her spare time). The twice-weekly club night swimming program has continued to prove popular and it was pleasing to see the significant progress that many swimmers had made over the summer months when competing at the club champs in March. The club continues its long tradition of providing an alternative and informal introductory swimming program for young school-age children, a number of whom subsequently decide to join and train with the clubs development squad. Shane Allan continues his role of Junior/Development coach and currently has a (winter) squad of approximately 25 swimmers, focusing on technique and stamina. All going well, a number of swimmers will be joining the competitive squad in the spring. Barry Dick continues his excellent role as coach of the Competitive squad swimmers (currently 17) whilst honing his Bronze Accreditation coaching skills. The club had swimmers attending all National meets this past year, including NZ Juniors and National Age Groups, and the DIV II (both in July 2011, Rotorua, and in March in Dunedin). There were many creditable performances at the National meets with some excellent national placings and meet records which reflects all the hard work that the swimmers and coaches have put in over the past 12 months, especially in light of unplanned injuries and illnesses that interrupt training programs. As in 2011, the club was again represented at the National Age Group training camp in May which is a great reflection on club and swimmer. Once again we had a good turn-out at regional meets. The novice meets held in Central Otago over the season continue to prove popular and we plan to continue to provide these meets for club night swimmers whenever the opportunity presents itself. Once again, club night has gone well and we thank all the parents and supporters, without whom it would not be possible. The dedicated team of Coaches, many of whom return season after season, do a fantastic job with our younger swimmers and the evidence is in the progress they have all made over the season. Challenge Cup was again well attended this year with around 130 swimmers attending. While this was a little down on 2011, the club was testing the water with a new timetable over the Waitangi weekend. This was in part because the holiday weekend fell favourably in 2012 and also permitted swimmers who attended Otago Champs, one last opportunity to qualify for following national meets. It was pleasing to note that Swimming Otago and Swimming NZ accommodated national qualifying times received by swimmers attending this meet. A sausage sizzle to feed hungry mouths, a huge array of great spot prizes (provided through the very generous support of local businesses), along with the usual team prizes and individual cash prizes in the greatly entertaining SKINZ racing, meant that a great time was had by all who attended the 2012 Waitangi Challenge Cup in February. Next Challenge Cup has now been scheduled for early spring (September 7/8), prior to NZ Short Course champs as the committee felt that a February date would not sit as well with other events already scheduled for 2013. The format of racing was also amended this year, with the addition of a distance event on the Friday evening. This proved a very popular addition and the club plans to continue with the new format and is also considering the inclusion of a (new)

'Masters' category at the September spring meeting. There also appeared to be general support for an opportunity for limited time-trialling at the end of the final session. Club Champs proved very successful this year with a good turn out of both competitive and novice club swimmers after it was decided to hold this over four nights, across a two week period and incorporate an expanded race program. This covered a greater number of strokes across a greater mix of distances than in the past, so providing greater range and a wider scope for judging overall ability. Many new club records were set this year, a good reflection on the continuing efforts of the swimmers and their coaches. Prize-giving had a 90% turn-out which as the club's patron (Brian Seymour) noted during the evening, bodes well for the future health of the club. In summary, the 2011/12 season has been another very successful and rewarding one for the club. Although the unfortunate events in Christchurch and continuing disruption has been a cause of concern for the short-term viability of the Mainland swimming competition, it has had a positive in respect of drawing the swimming community closer together. The club is supportive of the Canterbury clubs an appreciates that there may still be some refinement required to accommodate all the needs of both Otago and Canterbury swimmers at future Otago/Canterbury Championship event, it is unanimous that this should not be at the sacrifice of development swimmers in either region who have in the past looked to the Otago Champs as the pinnacle of their competitive swimming year. For these less experienced swimmers who form the grass-roots level of future NZ competitive swimming, it is equally important for them to feel part of the Otago or Canterbury swimming community. Communication between the club and council pool management has greatly improved and while it is unlikely that there will be any significant further reduction in pool charges, the club is planning on making a submission to the annual plan seeking a return to pool entry charges as apposed to pool hire for training sessions (the exception being event hire for meets). This is to reduce the overhead in administering monthly lane hire charges, invoicing and receipting. The 6-monthly ‘meeting of heads’ (Pool Users Forum), including all pool user groups and council pool administrators, continues to provide an opportunity to air ideas and put forward suggestions for improvement, although time will tell if anything concrete comes of it. The new (council supplied) lane ropes at recent meets have been a great safety improvement for lane swimmers. The club was successful earlier this year in securing funding for replacement stop-watches for use at club and local school swimming sports events. The club continues to provide support and equipment to schools and thanks must go to Lynda Cook (club recorder) for the many hours that were spent assisting with the Dunstan High School swimming sports in preparing psyche sheets, timetabling and compiling results. While club fund-raising continues to be an issue of some importance given the existing high costs for training, pool hire and travel to competition, the club does have one small but (generally) reliable revenue stream, its vending machine. Otherwise it remains reliant upon one-off fund-raising initiatives or the support received via community grants. The club was unsuccessful in securing funding to support for its team traveling to attend the Otago Championships this year however the committee agreed to provide a subsidy and the resulting team atmosphere proved a great success. In summary, the club has a very positive outlook for the coming 12 months. It has a strong and vibrant core committee but still requires additional members (for subgroups) to assist with task specific roles (eg. fund-raising activities, event management, etc). The club has a loyal following in its summer club night program (fully subscribed), and promising development squad and a small but core group of competitive swimmers. The past performance of club swimmers speaks for itself given its size, with representation on the Otago records register. Its focus is one of education and competition, with specific events being targeted as premier events

(eg. Otago Swimming Championships is considered to be the annual focus for all club competitive swimmers). The club web site went live in late 2011 and whilst still in its early stages of development, it is providing a useful information portal for its members and members of the public as a general point of inquiry and contact in regards to club activities and timetables. The club continues to have a good supporting relationship with neighboring clubs in the region and it is hoped that this can be developed further over the coming year where new opportunities arise for combining initiatives and sharing resources across Central Lakes District clubs. The committee is now looking towards a positive 12 months ahead and is in preparation for its AGM, to be held on June 26th. Gerard Pearson

Annual Report of the Clutha United Swimming Club

It has been a very messy season for Clutha United – We have not been able to run swim club due to not having a pool. We have been expecting the pool to open first week in June but it looks like there are more hold ups. “ I have heard the tiles are not sticking due to the colder temperatures? “ Our fingers and toes are crossed at this stage for it to be open by August so our competitive swimmers can get a fair go with their training and our club can get back into learning kids to swim. Hopefully Swim Club is all up and going in October. We will be looking for coaches to help take groups as we may be short. We have some committee members interested in helping coach and need to be onto it early to see who else out there is available. We were unable to hold club champs this season, but managed to hold South Otago Primarys at Milton Pool in March. This went well and Many Thanks to all involved, especially the parents who helped out with timekeeping; special mention must go to Karen Ramsay, Ingrid Hurring, Raylene Stammers and once again Sharon McKinnel. All of these people no longer have swimmers in the club but are always willing to come back and help run meets –we do appreciate your experience and commitment. Thank You to All. A small amount of fundraising has been done this year with limited swimmers. This involves some sausage sizzles, selling chocolate, raffles, private catering and services to the dance club. We have also been involved with the council, applying for grants to complete our pool. A special Thank You must go to Nyree Dickie for doing a lot of this ground work. 2012/2013 season looks promising for us to get back on the Otago Calendar and run our Club Carnival with a greatly improved 25 metre pool. Well done to our competitive swimmers and their coach. It has been a very trying season with two of our swimmers qualifying for NZ Juniors and two for South Island Country and Towns and NO POOL! Travelling for an hour each side of training is not always ideal. We have trained in Gore, Owaka, Milton and a private 10 metre pool in Balclutha. This does show the commitment and dedication of the coach and the swimmers. I am confident this season will be a breeze for training and we can leave the 2011/2012 season behind us. I would like to make special mention to Bruce and Leslie Martin for welcoming us into their home to use their personal pool for the past two seasons. Many Thanks for their kindness. Congratulations to Trent Dickie and Ella–Rose Lawrence for qualifying for NZ Juniors held at Wellington. Trent qualified for 6 swims and Ella 5. Both achieving some great PBs. Also to Katie Willocks for attending South Island Country & Towns and also doing some great PBs. Cassidy Robinson also qualified for 1 swim for South Islands. I am very proud of you all! Well done!

As a small club we would also like to acknowledge Swim Otago for all the work they put into swimming and giving our children the opportunity to participate in events without people like you our children would be missing out. Many Thanks from Clutha United. To finish off our season I would like to Thank our small committee without you there would not be a club, and once again I cannot Thank Sharon enough for being so dedicated to our swimmers, she has a wealth of experience and knowledge that we truly appreciate. Thank You. Moving forward I am sure the 2012/2013 season is going to be a fun and successful season for Clutha United Swim Club. I know that I will enjoy not having to travel so far and not having to fill the car up as much! Thank you once again and all the best for the season ahead.

Annual Report of the Cromwell Swimming Club

It has been another successful and busy year for the Cromwell Swimming club. Thanks to the hardworking committee for ensuring the smooth running of all aspects of the club over the 2011/2012 season. Due to a huge fundraising effort the Cromwell Swimming club uniform has been updated and our swimmers are all looking sharp poolside. Our competitive squad has continued to be small over the last year, but has had lots of success to be celebrated. We had swimmers competing at the 2011 and 2012 Division 2 Competitions, 2011 NZ Short Course Champs, 2012 NAGS and 2012 South Island Country and Town Champs. Club swimming has continued to be really strong over the last year with around 70 swimmers swimming twice a week over Terms 3 and 4. We have had a strong group of development swimmers during this time and there is a group of over 30 swimmers continuing to swim over the winter. The Cromwell Spring Carnival was as usual a highlight for the club. Numbers were down a little on previous years, but the racing was still good and the event ran smoothly. The Cromwell Swim Club was also proud to host the 2012 South Island Country and Town Meet. This meet was a great success and the Cromwell pool proved itself fast with many meet records and Div 2 times achieved over the weekend. We welcomed Andrew McMillan back as a club member this year and were proud to see our club uniform worn at the NZ Open Championships. The club is looking forward to having Cromwell represented at the London Olympics later in the year. On a committee level congratulations to Cromwell Head Coach Peter Ross who was made a life member at our AGM.

Annual Report of the Dunedin Swimming Club It is my privilege to report this year’s progress for the Dunedin Swimming Club. It has been another very successful year for our club with membership at capacity and our level of coaching remaining high, plus every family seems to be very happy with our services.

200m Passport

Our passports are working well with all children in the Main Pool working towards one of the goals in this passport. Children seem proud of their achievements and their passport. The committee is now considering a Learners Pool passport so every member would be working towards a passport goal.

Pending Lane fees

The Dunedin City Council has recently indicated that it will be charging all clubs $5 per lane from Jan 2013, this charge equates to $17 per child annually. While club is holding financial reserves for equipment and technology, this lane charge will need to be passed, as our first fee increase in four years.

HEHA Grant

Karini Wallace was granted $1500 from the Southern DHB in August 2010. This grant is to promote healthy eating and healthy action (HEHA), principally aimed at māori. Our club fully supports Karini’s initiatives.

Swimming NZ

Earlier in this financial year Swimming NZ was looking to consolidate all clubs membership and finances to an on-line system with their goal being to save volunteer hours in the background. Our committee and particularly myself feel our club would not gain any efficiencies from this nationwide consolidation. With the Swimming NZ board resignations during 2011 this national consolidation has gone quite.

Synopsis

As expected our year end expenditure was normal so last years over spend has been corrected in our main bank account. I wish to formally thank every coach and the committee for the time they have volunteered during the year (over 700 hours), without their commitment we truly don’t have a club, it is therefore an honour to work along side you all.

Annual Report of the Kawa Dolphins Swimming Club

I am delighted to be able to report on another successful year for the club. Membership was slightly down on last year, but still a healthy 54 children from 32 families. Our core role is to teach children to swim. It is great to see all children making progress in this regard during the year, and seeing year on year progress. We also continue to see our coaching capability increase. Rueben Anderson, Nathan Derrett and Annabelle Weston all completed the ASTA course this year. Ellen Gipp and Adrienne McLellan completed their practical record keeping and have been assessed; we are confident they will achieve qualified Assistant Swim Teacher status as a result.

Our range of water based activities was as broad as ever. Club members attended four scuba diving sessions at Dive Otago, with great participation from all age groups and parents as well. This is now becoming an established part of our winter calendar. We practised our underwater hockey skills as usual this year, and enjoyed a great day out on the harbour with the Waka Ama crew. A special thanks to Sue who developed a really enjoyable programme for those of our members who wanted to learn diving skills. We continue to provide access to swimming for children of all abilities and experiences, many of whom have not been able to fit in with other organised swimming arrangements. Our diversity is becoming a key strength, which aligns well with our family focus and the contribution we get from current and past senior members. as well of course as parents. Many of our new members come via word of mouth referral, which is a great vote of confidence in the club. Finally, some thanks: to all the coaches and committee members, who provide week in week out support for the club, especially Timothy Ball for overseeing all our coaching activities; to the unsung helpers, senior students and parents, who do a lot of unofficial work; and of course to the families, parents and caregivers who take time out to bring children along. Steve Silvey, Club President 2011

Committee Members

Voted onto the Committee for 2012 were the following: President: Steve Silvey Vice President: Timothy Ball Treasurer: Campbell Weston Secretary: Rowan Stanley Committee Members: Sara Hall, Mary Dalton, Anne Cathro, Adrienne MacLellan, Sally Clayton, Dwight Adie. Fees

Membership fees for 2012 remain unchanged at $65 per annum or $20 per term.

Annual Report of the Kiwi Swimming Club

Kiwi Swim Club continues to flourish as a successful Learn to Swim club in its 90th year of existence. Numbers joining the club and returning from last year remained high with a constant demand for more places throughout the year. Our fantastic group of volunteer coaches is well organized by our coach coordinator Tina Evans. We said farewell to Tina at the end of the year as she set off for her new life in Australia and thank her for all her efforts during her time with Kiwi. Our coaches provide a high standard of coaching to all our children and we appreciate their hard work through the year. It would be impossible to run our club without the generosity of all our volunteers. Evelyn Parr continued her excellent work with our Development Squad swimmers. We had a good increase in the number of swimmers entering competitions and eventually moving onto a more professional coaching programme. Evelyn also finished her time with Kiwi and moved to Australia during the year and will be missed too. We thank her for all her efforts with our swimmers during her time with Kiwi. Lauren Greenshields has taken over the Development Squad and is doing a fantastic job with the children.

Ribbons Nights continue to be held once a term and they continue to highlight the progress our swimmers are making. Thanks go to Tricia McNaughton for organising these nights and also to all the parents who help with timekeeping. Kiwi Challenge Meet was again held in November as our main event of the year. This meet is well supported by swimmers from all around the South Island and continues to be an important meet for young swimmers in the region. Kiwi thanks all our parents and committee members who helped to make this event a successful and popular event. Kiwi has a fantastic committee who all work hard for the benefit of our club. We are lucky to have a dedicated group of volunteers especially these days when it is hard to find people who can give their time so generously. Sadly during the year Kiwi lost a long standing member of our committee. Dr Robert (Bob) Smith passed away in June and will be sadly missed.

Annual Report of the Milton Swimming Club

After a long delay because of renovations to the changing rooms and the main entrance the Milton swimming pool finally opened on Friday the 20th February. It was decided to hold a very short and compact season over 7 weeks with 6 weeks for coaching and a week for club championships. Because of the short season fees were set at $20.00 per swimmer which encouraged some new families into the swimming club. After a hurried ring around over a weekend the club had 5 swimming coaches and 70 swimmers registered in the learn to swim and competitive training groups. The Milton Swimming Club would like to once again thank their coaches (Sharron Ferguson, Boo Nichol, Anne Taylor, Malcolm Lowery and Alan Robinson) for all the time that they give in coaching the children.

With no local pool to train in the club only had 2 competition swimmers (Matthew & Nicholas Robinson) travelling firstly to Moana Pool once a week and then to the Taieri Pool twice a week to which we are truly grateful to the Taieri lifeguards who ensured we had a lane to train in and allowed us to warm up there each day before competition at the Otago Champs.

The travelling and training paid off with success firstly at the Otago Country Club Champs where Nicholas won the under 9 boys 50m backstroke event. Next were the Southland Champs where Nicholas won 2 silver medals (50m Backstroke, 100m Backstroke) and a bronze medal (50m Freestyle) Matthew won 2 finalist ribbons. More training over the Xmas break and Nicholas continued his good form with a gold (50m Backstroke), and 2 silver’s (100m Backstroke, 100m Freestyle) and once again Matthew gained 2 finalist ribbons. Both boys finished the season off by qualifying for a number events at the South Island Country and Town Meet with Matthew finishing with 2 very close 4th placing’s.

The club season finished in Mid April with the club champs where 26 children competed across the age groups. Even with a short season most children showed a big improvement in times for the events they same.

A prize giving was held at the Milton Bowling club where the coaches presented certificates to all the children in their swimming groups. This was followed by the presentation of the competition ribbons and cups along with the Diligence trophies.

With all the office bearers stepping down from their position’s next season a few more parents will have to step up to the ensure the future of the Milton Swimming Club. Financially the club is very strong and have a good set of training equipment along with some excellent coaches the base is there for a good 2012/2013 season.

Annual Report of the Neptune Swimming Club

It is with pleasure I submit the Neptune Swim Club Annual Report for the 2011-2012 season. Neptune continues to be a vibrant and popular Swim Club, with a large Club Swimmer session on Monday Nights and strong Competitive Swimmer group associated with the Otago Swim Coaching Academy. As of May 2012, we have 123 Club Swimmers and 58 Competitive Swimmers. Demand for membership in Neptune has exceeded our ability to accommodate everyone. As consequence, we have had to continue with our Membership Waiting List in 2012. Monday Night Club: Monday Club Nights has a strong focus on coaching the Club Swimmer group, from learn to swim, to ready to begin professional coaching and the transition to competitive swimming. We have 10 lanes of Club Coaching at the various levels, and it is excellent to see the steady progress the Club Swimmers are making, as they continue to develop their technique and their stamina. Neptune acknowledges the excellent service that our Monday Night Swim Coaches bring to the Club. Thanks you so much, to Jill Clarke, Aleisha Clarke, Nicky Hayde, Sasha Hayde, Jess Mollison, Becky Oswald, Trudi Taig, Keegan Taig, Eilish Thompson and Nick Tyrrell who have provided such superb coaching in the Main Pool & the Dive Pool, and Evelyn Armstrong and Sheryl Watt who teach the beginners in the Learners Pool.

Neptune Queens Birthday Carnival:

The Queens Birthday Carnival continues to be a very popular and well supported swim meet. This year is the 29th Annual Queens Birthday Carnival, and we are continuing with the new format, of 5 sessions from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. The money raised at this meet is a vital source of funding that supports all our club’s activities throughout the year. The 2012 Queens Birthday Meet has 31 Clubs entered from around the South Island, with 301 swimmers entered in 2,627 Individual Events and 66 Relays. At the time of writing this report, the 29th Annual Queens Birthday Meet has not yet occurred. Thanks to: The Neptune Committee is a well-organised and well-functioning group of people. Neptune Swim Club could not run without the dedication and hard work of Julie McMahon, Margie Murray, Kay Alexander, Evelyn Armstrong, Debbie Tyrrell, Kathryn Duncan, Carol Forbes, Gerald Duncan, and Sheryl Watt. I thank the Committee for their encouragement and support over this past year.

Special thanks from the Committee go: To Sharyn Bungard who has recently retired from the Neptune Committee. To the Otago Swim Coaching Academy, to Gennadiy Labara, and to his OSCA management committee, which provides the professional coaching services to our Competitive Swimmers within the OSCA squads Gennadiy is a superb coach and the Neptune swimmers in his care are receiving world-class coaching and are continuing to excel in the pool. To the supportive and dedicated group of parents who regularly assist with the running of swim meets, both our own and to those of other Clubs. These parents give up their time to help by officiating as time keepers, I.O.T.’s, Judges of Stroke, in the Control Room, managing the catering that keeps everyone feed and watered. You are the unacknowledged Stars of the Club, on who much depends. Thank you so much. Our thanks go to the Moana Pool Staff, especially Karin Staufenbiel and the Reception Staff, who make our Monday Club Nights and annual Queens Birthday Meet run so smoothly. We are most grateful for the facilities at Moana Pool. And finally, the Neptune Committee would like to formally recognise the contribution made by Ruth van Welie and Graham Price to Neptune Swim Club. Ruth and Graham (both Life Members of Neptune) have recently stepped down from the Neptune Committee after many years of dedicated service to the Neptune Swim Club. Both Ruth and Graham have shared the benefit of their wisdom & experience wisely, and left us with a good understanding of managing a swim club the size of Neptune. We wish them all the best for the future, and will miss them very much.

Annual Report of the Port Chalmers Swimming Club As usual our Club started the season in October 2011 and saw a large number of new entrants with varying levels of confidence. Licia Mihaka (our Head Coach) was ready for the Season with the lesson plans and group lists for our coaches. We had a great group of swimmers attend the Coastal Development Meets and they all enjoyed themselves. Their behaviour on poolside was excellent and they represented our Club extremely well. Our competitive squad attended various competitions and all managed to achieve personal bests for their races. Three swimmers qualified for the SI Town & Country competition and while only two could attend this was a huge milestone for our Club as it has been a number of years since we have had a swimmer at this meet. Griffin Hill achieved a record for his age group in 50m Butterfly and is currently undertaking winter training at Moana Pool. We held our annual triathlon in February and had an increase in athletes to compete. A huge thank you to NZ Water Safety for supplying each of our competitors with goggles and supporting our Club for this fundraiser.

Our Club Champs were again held on a Saturday and we combined these with a BBQ lunch. We had some of our parents compete in the Open Mens and Womens race, and with lots of cheering from the kids those swimmers that hadn’t raced in over 20 years managed a length of breaststroke. As for the others we made them swim two lengths of freestyle. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Official from Swim Otago who came and helped us with our Club Champs (and apologise because her name has escaped me). This was a great day for our kids and a perfect way for us to show what our small Club can do. All in all we have had a very successful season and we are looking forward to another busy season in 2012/2013.

Annual Report of the Queenstown Swimming Club

At last year’s Annual General Meeting the Management Committee was left to appoint a President which I agreed to do for one year provided someone became Vice President who was prepared to take over the President’s role for the 2012-13 season. On behalf of the Queenstown Swimming Club Management Committee and swimmers it gives me pleasure to present the 2011-12 Annual Report. This season has been one of consolidation and improvement to the running of the Club by changing the ways some things are undertaken.

Club Swimming

I would like to thank Sherryn Smith, Susan Mawhinney, Leigh Sontag, Sharon Burke, Alice Hutchens, Donna Baldey, Olivia Robins and Jock Rosie who have coached our club swimmers at the Wakatipu High School and Alpine Aqualand coaching approximately 100 swimmers. We are managing to hold our numbers which is good. A number of these swimmers attended ribbon nights and the Club Championships at the end of the season. It was good to see these club swimmers trying so hard at ribbon nights and in many cases showing good stroke technique for their age. This reflects the good level of coaching being provided to these club swimmers. It is disappointing that there was not more club swimmers’ attending the Central Novice meets in term 4. Sherryn Smith has advised she is standing down from the Coaching Coordinator position but will remain as a coach. I would like to thank Sherryn for all her work in coordinating the club swimmers and coaches for this part of the club.

Competitive Swimmers

Frank and Brenda Wylie have coached the competitive swimmers at a Senior and Junior level this season providing the programmes which has allowed our swimmers to reach their goal of attending National meets. This season has seen an increase in the number of affiliated competitive swimmers which has resulted in more swimmers attending the various swimming meets throughout the season.

Otago Country Clubs

A strong team of swimmers attended the Otago Country Club Championship hosted by Alexandra. The Club was successful in winning the 14 and over and the overall Club points Trophies. Well done to the swimmers and a thank you to the parents who helped at this meet.

Otago Champs

This year saw the Otago Championships combined with Canterbury and because of the format it was difficult to sort out the top 3 Otago placing’s for each event. Sophie Gibson is congratulated for winning the 14-15yrs age group most points trophy, Alice Moran 200m Backstroke trophy and Gabby White the aggregate age group Breaststroke trophy. While there are a few matters which will need to be changed if the meet is to remain as a combined Otago and Canterbury Championship it did give the swimmers an opportunity to learn about swimming fast in the morning and then having to back it up and swim fast again in the evening for those who made finals.

South Island Country and Town

Jock Rosie, Alex Rosie, Alexandra Hull and Sophie Millar are to be congratulated for their effort at this meet in breaking a number of records. The following swimmers achieved top 3 placings. Victoria Arkell 2nd 100m Backstroke Abbey Downing 3rd 200m Breaststroke, 2nd 50m Breaststroke, Ella Gibson 3rd 100m IM, 3rd 200m IM, 2nd 50m Butterfly, 1st 200m Butterfly, 2nd 100m Butterfly, 3rd 50m Breaststroke, Sophie Harris 3rd 100m Backstroke, Alexandra Hull 1st 50m Breaststroke, Ben Hull 3rd 50 Backstroke, 2nd 100m IM, 3rd 200m IM, 3rd 50m Butterfly, 2nd 50m Freestyle, Molly Law 3rd 50m Backstroke, 3rd 50m Freestyle,1st 100m Freestyle, Mitchell Mawhinney 3rd 100m Butterfly, Sophie Millar 1st 50m Backstroke, 1st 200m Freestyle,3rd 100m IM, 1st 50m Freestyle, 1st 100m Backstroke, 1st 100 Freestyle, Alex Rosie 1st 200m Breaststroke, 3rd 100m Breaststroke, Jock Rosie 3rd 200m Breaststroke, 2nd 200m Freestyle, 3rd 100m IM, 2nd 200m IM, 3rd 50m Butterfly, 1st 200m Butterfly 1st 100m Butterfly, Rhiannon Waite 2nd 50m Backstroke, 2nd 100m IM, 2nd 50 Butterfly, 1st 50m Freestyle, 1st 100m Backstroke, 1st 100m Butterfly

Officials

It was good to see some more parents coming forward and trying their hand at officiating. It is hoped you will continue next year. It is necessary for more parents to become involved as officials at swimming meets due to the high number of helpers required to run a meet. I wish to thank those parents who took on the role of Team Manager at the various meets in organising the swimmers and making sure they were at marshalling on time. Your efforts are appreciated by the swimmers.

Fundraising

This year has again seen a considerable amount of fundraising taking place to provide funding to help offset the costs for swimmers attending National Meets. A special thanks to Sue Dennison for all the organisation and hard work she has put in to this portfolio. While in this position Sue has certainly raised the level of fundraising and the profile of swimming in the community. As costs associated with competitive swimmers continues to increase the current level of fundraising will need to continue.

General

I wish to thank the members of the Management Committee for their hard work and support during the season. It was a pleasure to have members being prepared to provide constructive debate and taking on tasks and following through with them. Sue Dennison and Bronnie Kerr have advised they will not be seeking re-election and so I wish to thank Sue for all her work in fundraising as well as organising accommodation and other matters associated with Regional and National meets and Bronnie for setting up the online accounting programme and allowing invoices to be generated and internet banking to occur. The committee is committed to improving its processes and will continue to do so in the coming year and we look forward to your children continuing in the sport of swimming.

Annual Report of the Taieri Swimming Club

It is with pleasure that I present the Taieri Swimming Club Annual Report for the 2011 – 2012 season. Membership

Once again we were able to bring new swimmers off the waiting list into our Learner/Improver groups, although we still have some on the waiting list. We had a full squad which was well attended and a small number of competitive swimmers who trained elsewhere. Coaching

Amelia Cruize was Squad Coach for the season and she was assisted by Michelle Summers and Rod Grant. The Learners/Improvers groups were coached this season by Fraser Robertson, Graeme Turnbull, Fiona Shea, Laurence Simpson, Peter Bylsma, Aleisha Pickering, Jessie Cox, Paul Bolton, Craig Christensen, Ainslee Grainger, Rod Grant, Dawn Coates and new coach this season Jacqui Gulliven. Our back-up / reliever coach was David Sawtell. Our grateful thanks go out to our volunteer coaches for their time and effort so generously given. It is our volunteer coaches who we owe the success of our club to. Fund Raising

We gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance received from Bendigo Valley Sports & Charity Foundation for Taieri Carnival expenses, for the purchase of a new training platform for use in the water with our smaller swimmers, for the purchase of service badges to be awarded in accordance with a new "awards" rule change which is being proposed at this year's AGM, and for the purchase of "Taieri Swim Club Coach" polo-shirts presented to our coaching team at the beginning of the season.

The Taieri Carnival, our main fundraiser for the year, was again a great success receiving lots of positive feedback. We wish to again thank the generous support received from local businesses, our club families, swimming officials and all those who gave up their time to help out on the day. Thank you all so much.

Results

A number of our Taieri swimmers qualified and represented our club at regional and national events.

• Otago Champs – 13 swimmers attended

• South Island Town & Country, Cromwell – 4 attended

• Div 2, Rotorua in 2011 and Dunedin in April 2012 - Vicki Clarke attended both of these meets.

• NZ Juniors, Wellington – Courtland Ellis attended again this year after qualifying in 13 events. He gained eight top ten placings from nine events swum including a silver and two bronze medals. Well done Courtland!

We have a number of keen young swimmers coming through and showing interest in the competitive scene, encouraged somewhat by swimming in the Coastal Development Series and the Taieri Carnival where we had 42 club swimmers competing. We had 8 swimmers attend the Kiwi Challenge Meet in November, 4 at the Cromwell Spring Carnival in November and 1 at the Alexandra Xmas Challenge Cup in February. Taieri swimmers also attended the Waves winter meets. Acknowledgements On a sadder matter, we note the passing of our long serving patron, Mr Hugh Morrison. Mr Morrison was a great supporter of our club often attending club events and showing his encouragement and support of our young swimmers. He sponsored the Morrison Sportsmanship Trophy which included a season's club membership. We also wish to acknowledge the sad passing of Mr Punch Tremaine who, for a number of years, coached our Taieri Squad swimmers.

Committee

We have had a busy and successful season with great improvements and successes achieved by many of our swimmers. Thank you to all committee members who volunteered for jobs, made themselves available at club sessions, assisted at club events and attended meetings. Thanks go to Tracey Thomson as Secretary and Sheryl-Anne Newman as Treasurer for all your support and time. A special thanks goes to Susan Sawtell, our Registrar, for the many hours she has given to organising our young swimmers. This has contributed greatly to the success and smooth running of the Taieri Swimming Club. Thanks also to Steve and David for their support. In conclusion, the club is in a comfortable financial position with a number of keen young swimmers, dedicated coaches and supportive parents. Gaile Medder

Annual Report of the Wanaka Swimming Club It is with pleasure that I present the annual report for the Wanaka Swim Club for the 2011/2012 season. Congratulations to our competitive swimmers who have represented the Wanaka Club at a huge number of national, regional and inter regional events throughout the year with much success, winning medals and achieving PB’s . It is great to see our younger swimmers coming through, as they are the backbone of our club, as it is very hard for us to keep the older swimmers as they tend to head to boarding school. A number of our parents have become involved in the official side of swimming with a couple doing starting, another doing IOT duties and another assisting in the office with all the computer and recording side of things. I hope they all enjoyed the experience and will continue to do so next season. Fundraising has been an ongoing task all year with the Club involved in a number of events. The Warbirds Airshow was our biggest fundraiser and raised a substantial amount for the club, along with the River Run Trail Series and a number of sausage sizzles. A huge thank you to all involved in making these such successful endeavours. Our Club Champs were held at the end of March, with a good turn out of all ages, and it was pleasing to see so many PB’s and to see the younger swimmers with huge grins on their faces as they got out of the pool. Thank you to our coach Fi Hezinger who has had a fantastic first full season with the Club, and has seen her swimmers on the podium at national and regional events. And has also seen a couple of swimmers set records at the SI County & Town meet. Fi has managed to keep her squad highly motivated and striving to succeed every time they swim, and to still have smiles on their faces. (Quite and achievement) Finally to the Committee a huge thank you for all their hard work and support during the season, you all make my job easier and help the club run smoothly by fulfilling your various roles. The success of every club hinges on the support of all those involved. Wanaka Swim Club is lucky to have support from its parents and a very dedicated committee, and this can only reflect positively on our children’s enjoyment and achievements in the water what ever their ability.

My thanks goes to the Committee, coaches and those people who support club on a weekly basis to ensure the best learning opportunities and outcomes for all swimmers. We currently have members in the Learners Pool and in both the shallow and deep ends of Moana Pool and it always give me pleasure to see swimmers move from one level to another. Alongside weekly coaching, Club Champs, Ribbon nights, fun nights, swim meets and access to the Dive pool all provide opportunities for swimmers to develop new skills and have achievements recognized. Despite challenges such as the recent introduction of a lane fee for Clubs, Zenith maintains a strong membership and with the continued support of long standing members/supporters it is in strong position to remain a sustainable club as we move towards the 2012/13 season.
