- The Killarney Swim Club has secured an additional Bingo for Wednesday, March 31 (afternoon).
- A few adjustments regarding weekday afternoon Bingo shifts.
- A few members have more Bingo's now than others, and I will take that into account for either summer Bingo's or ones in the fall.

Crazy Hat Meet
The Crazy Hat Meet was a huge success. THANK YOU to all the parents who worked hard to have everything run so smoothly, a special thanks to the meet management who really did a great job of running a larger meet in such a small venue. The kids did wonderful, they swam fast, cheered on team mates, and looked great in their Killarney gear and "crazy" hats. The Swimmers of the Meet are; Tyler Whitaker and Amanda Chen, both raced their hearts out, and did a great job encouraging team mates to do so as well. Job Well Done......let's keep it going for the next meet!

Junior to Senior A Squad Meet Change
Please note that there has been a revision to the Long Course meet registration form found in the Meets Section. There was no information available regarding the Chinook Invitational when we originally sent out the Long Course meet registration form. As the club is having to do a lot of travelling this season due to the Talisman closure when we found out that there was an in town meet on the same weekend as the AMAC Long Course Invitational we made the decision to not travel to Medicine Hat and to stay in Calgary instead.
The deadline for handing in the form is Friday, February 5, 2010.

Please contact the office no later than Friday January 15, 2010 if you would like to attend this meet.

The club receives a team discount from Team Aquatics which it will pass onto club members less a small administration fee. Members are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity as it will save you time and money down the road.
