**SATURDAY SWIM TOMORROW CANCELLED** 🌧 🌧

Hi everyone, as much as you were all looking forward to a freezing swim in murky water, we’ve made the decision to cancel tomorrow’s usual club swim.

With the amount of rain we’ve had, the lake is full of debris and who knows what (e coli 💩).

While we can’t stop anyone swimming, if you do go it’s at your own risk!

We had thought of doing an indoor swim at the Events Centre, but there’s a big sporting event on so parking will be tight.

Might be a good weekend for an alternate activity!! See you all next Saturday!

The towels have numbers 1-100 on, pick a number and donate that amount! This is such a great cause and these ladies have done so much for our club, let’s help them out! Either message the ladies direct, or send a message to the club and we’ll help you out! 🥶🏊‍♀️💵 Frozen Ferns Bethany G. Rogers IISA NZ Ice Swimming IISA Netherlands
