Summary
The Hunters
Hill Swimming Club is a not for profit community based swimming
club operating in the geographic area around Hunters Hill, Sydney.
Our club is operated by volunteers and we are always looking for
more volunteers and also more funding to help implement our
plans.
We are members of Swimming NSW and the Northern Suburbs Swimming
District. Other clubs in the Northern District region can be found
by clicking on 'links' above. We have listed them with links to
thir web site. On this page you will also find links to other
Australian and International swimming bodies and businesses (even

Aims of the
Organisation
To encourage swimming in the Hunters Hill and lower north shore
area for fun, fitness and competition.
Swimming is a rare sport where the time spent competing equals a
very small fraction of the time required to prepare ones stroke,
turns, slip streaming, and a host of other technical aspects of
each swimming stroke. Competing in swimming is great fun and it
teaches our kids the value and importance of preparation and hard
work.
Swimmers are awesome people.

Activities /
Events
The club runs
a regular carnival each Friday night through the summer swimming
season. This carnival commences at 6.30 pm and is held in the
heated 50 metre outdoor pool of the Lane Cove Swimming Centre. It
is a beautiful setting for swimming. The purpose of the carnivals
is to encourage all swimmers of whatever ability to participate and
try and improve their "PBs". Points are awarded depending upon
performance against personal PBs and at the end of the season
prizes are awarded based upon total points. This is a family night
and run inconjunction with a BBQ.
Additionally the club coach, Bash Zidan, runs a completive
training program for swimmers interested in competing at age based
metropolitan (northern metropolitan) and State carnivals.
Competition squad swimmers train at the Lane Cove Pool. Squad
sessions are run seven days a week commencing at 5.30 am and
concluding at 7 am. Over the last few years the club has produced a
number of junior state champions.

Cove Pool on Sunday from 7.30am to 8.30 am. Recreational and stroke
correction classes are run at the Ryde Swimming Pool Monday to
