Morena All,

The Wairarapa Multisport Club is excited to announce an open-water training squad pilot starting on June 2nd. This 12-week program is designed for anyone considering an open-water swim or triathlon this upcoming season who wants to improve their technique and build endurance.

The training will be held at 6:00 PM every Tuesday at the back pool of the Trust House Recreation Centre. Led by renowned Masters swim coach Richard Swallow, the program focuses on training smarter rather than just doing "zombie miles."

Program Details:

- Start Date: June 2nd

- Duration: 12-week pilot

- Cost: $40 for 12 weeks (the first week is free)

- Ability Levels: All levels welcome (5 lanes available)

- Environment: Friendly, non-judgmental, and encouraging

To join us, please arrive at 5:45 PM for a 6:00 PM start.

For further information, please contact Greg Lang at 027 898 1618. We look forward to seeing you there and helping you get fit and swim smarter.

Cheers Greg

Kia Ora everyone, last night some of your committee met with some of the committee of Wairarapa Mountain Bike Club (WMBC) and a discussion was had about the merging of our 2 clubs.
What does this mean?…..that is an absolutely fantastic question! For the most part nothing Really changes except we will have new members who love to MTB and can offer us their expertise in all things MTB.
In order to make it official we need to have an AGM, and I know we all love ❤️ an AGM to vote so in the mean time think about it, talk about it and have your say!
A date for AGM will be posted soon
I’m sure this merger won’t affect the NZSE but never can tell

Great last Biathlon and even a debut who was waiting for his wingman (Ray) to turn up!
Probably the best weather 🌦️ we have had for any event and we had good numbers.
Thanks to Mark and Carol for doing the timing it is always appreciated.
Watch this space about the swim squad starting at Trusthouse and also about going to the screening of Greg and Ali’s movie debut…..next stop Shortland Street
Thanks for the support over the season and enjoy Easter 🐣

The decision to delay a week has been justified, your welcome😂, with some fantastic looking weather
Will be a BBQ with all the trimmings….feel free to bring something to add to the end of season feast!(Norm?)
With darkness coming quickly the ride will be done first especially on the road
See you all from 5.30
Extra spot prizes tonight including a couple of big ones

With the end of triathlon season nearly here and our last Biathlon of the Summer Season on Thursday thought I’d take the opportunity to canvas if members and those interested in becoming members are keen to get swim coaching over the winter?
The coaching will be a Trusthouse pool on either a Monday or Tuesday night about 6.30 pm. We will see how much interest there is and hire lanes accordingly.
All abilities and fitness levels are welcome and financial members will be free and non members there may be a small charge
Coach knows his stuff and us looking forward to helping us out
Great opportunity to improve your swimming 🏊 🏊‍♀️ 🏊‍♂️

Due to the weather which is looking like turning nasty we are postponing till next week
I know..I know it’s Easter weekend but Jesus will understand and no work Friday so last race PB is on the cards and you can push the boat 🛶 out a bit afterwards (people still use that saying?)
I promise extra special BBQ goodies
See you all next week

Speaking of last…..This Thursday is our last night so we are going to have a bit of an end of season wind up with a few sausages on the BBQ a few salads and drinks
So make sure you bring suitable and warm after race clothes
You’re welcome to bring extra food if you want (Norm?) but no pressure
See you all on Thursday
