Redlands Club Night will be held as per schedule in the Information Booklet provided at Sign-On. Whenever possible a distance event will be held on most Club Nights.

A swimmer must produce a copy of their Birth Certificate when registering with Redlands for the first time.

A Club Record can be established or broken by any member of Redlands Swimming Club Inc competing in a Registered Meet, Club Championship, Club Night or an event specifically set by the Club Executive for the purpose of established/breaking a record. Three (3) Timekeepers are required to time the event. If a swimmer wishes to establish/break a Club Record during Club Night a nomination form must be submitted with their Club Night nomination.

As fundraising is the main source of income for the support of National swimmers, we encourage those swimmers who qualify to participate in our fund raising activities (There is a register kept in club house to record hours volunteered.).
