Virtual Meet 2021.1

August 9-15

For all our members, with many in lockdown, we are hosting another ‘virtual’ meet where members can take part and earn points for a variety of ‘fitness’, ‘friendship’ or ‘fun’ activities.

You don’t need to swim to take part (though that is one of the activities for those that have the opportunity), you can take walks & cook healthy meals to earn points. The more activities completed, the more points earned.

A fantastic, fun week filled with activity.
