Dear Members,
Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to help. We still require help in some important areas. Please see below:

We are excited to be holding our 50th annual Bunbury Open Carnival on Sunday 20 October 2024 in our own pool at the South West Sports Centre.
It is a fun friendly meet and the perfect opportunity to get some official long course times. We would love to see all our awesome BSC swimmers there from new members and first-timers to our performance swimmers.
It is also our club’s major fundraiser for the year- allowing us to keep fees down. For this reason “it’s all hands on deck”. Attached is current Volunteer List.
