Munster Senior Schools & Munster SC Championships
Hi all,
We have been requested by Munster Swimming to host the Munster Senior Schools on Sunday and the Munster SC Championships on the weekend of the 4th/5th of November.
This is an opportunity for the club to do some fundraising and run a shop on the above dates.
This can only happen with Volunteers from within the club on those dates.
We would appreciate if we could put a rota in place across the dates for 1/2 hours to manage the shop,which the swimmers will operate.
Can we ask everyone to text back their availability for the above dates.
We would also request that everyone in the Marlin squad from Surname A -G bring in cakes and from H – Z Savouries.
Barracuda Squad:
A-F Cakes
G-Z Savouries.
On both the above.
Much appreciated
On behalf of SWSC.

- Towels must be fully paid for at time of order.
- The towel has the new SWSC logo on it similar to the attached picture.
- Allow 5/6 weeks for delivery
- Towels are made to order, personalised with your childs name & therefore I will not be in a position to carry spare towels in the shop.

How Anemia is Hurting Swimmers – Swimming World
“For many athletes, being perpetually tired is just a way of life. Training is intense, school has its demands, and often there are simply not enough hours in the day to check everything off the to do list. However, there is a distinct difference between feeling lethargic on a Thursday afternoon after three days of doubles, and having chronic fatigue that affects every aspect of athletic performance. Many athletes, especially females, find themselves so tired that sleeping and relaxing more does not seem to have any effect on their energy levels, and they cannot perform their sport to the best of their ability. ”
