Welcome to the 11 March edition of the Swimming NSW e-newsletter

Sportscover Australia will make available up to 50 unconditional grants of $500 to assist eligible sports clubs to replace sports equipment lost as a result of the February-March 2022 floods.

We appreciate that applying for a grant may not be a priority for the people who have been most affected by the floods, so our insurers Marsh Sport will facilitate this process for you. To apply for a grant please complete and return the below form to Marsh (sport@marsh.com), or get in touch with your local Club Support Officer for assistance.

The Grassroots Sport Fund is part of the NSW Government’s Community Sport Recovery Package, providing a one-off grant of up to $1,000 for clubs and associations to help the sporting sector and club communities recoup funds lost to COVID-19. 

Many Swimming NSW clubs are eligible for this grant - you need only apply!

Swimming NSW, with support from the Office of Sport, will be responsible for administering the grant to its eligible affiliated clubs.

Read more about this grant and eligibility here.

Bulk Nutrients is donating $1000 a day over 100 days to 100 Australian Not for Profit or Charity organisations, including sports clubs, who have a turnover of less than $100,000.

To apply, tell Bulk Nutrients about your organisation, who you help and support and how you would use the funds. They will assess applications and get back to you with their decision.

The online application takes about 10 minutes, and can result in $1,000 cash for your club.

Businesses in local government areas declared as disaster areas may be eligible for concessional loans from the NSW Government.

Sports clubs may be able to access up to $10,000.

It's Area v Area at Speedo Finals on Saturday, 12 March.

The top swimmers from Speedo Heats, held across NSW earlier this year, are heading to SOPAC this weekend to represent their areas with pride!

You can catch the sharp 50m sprint action and relay raucous from home this weekend via SwimTV live stream.

Best of luck to all competitors and areas, and have a great time!

Swimming NSW has launched a brand new, progressive, online resource for club and area committee members – the Club House.

A website encompassing all things related to the operation of clubs, the Club House is a unique digital portal for club and area level administrators. The Club House website replaces Swimming NSW’s unwieldy paper Club Operational Manual and adds further value with blog-style articles that address administration topics that can’t be learned in a book.

All club content currently found on the Swimming NSW main site nsw.swimming.org.au will, in time, be moved across in full to the Club House, leaving the main site a hub that will service individual member needs.

Visit the Club House now at clubhouse.swimming.org.au
