Dive into Sunday Mornings: Club Handicap Swims Kicked Off on the Weekend!
Dust off your swimmers and goggles the MVSLSC Sunday morning handicap swims series officially returned Sunday, 4th October!
Meet on the sand in front of the club ready for a 10:00 AM start. Whether you’re training for competition, keeping fit, or just fancy a refreshing dip with mates, everyone is welcome.
How does the handicap swim work?
Our handicap system is designed to level the playing field so every swimmer has a shot at taking line honours:
* Swimmers are assigned a staggered start time based on ability, slower swimmers head off first, followed by the speedsters, with the goal of everyone hitting the sand between the flags together.
* Flippers are very welcome, so don’t let that stop you!
* Swim Points: 7 points for 1st place, scaling down to 1 point for having a go and participating.
* B Grade: Stick around immediately after for a second mystery event, offering 4 points for 1st place and 1 point for participation.
Here’s to fantastic conditions and a great season in the surf ahead. The more the merrier, so come down, join the fun, and kick off your Sunday the right way!
