00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,960

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: It will run all the way through till Sunday, so

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: there are seven sessions throughout the weekend. It's the territory

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: state championship, so it's our largest meet of the season YEP.

26
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 3: And it's one of the last opportunities for the local

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: guys here to qualify for national championship events.

28
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: And are we expecting kids or you know, young people

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,080

78
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: It must be exciting though for both of you to

79
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: travel as well together as sisters and be able to

80
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,880

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: Doing what you really enjoy it is.

83
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

84
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's wonderful for anyone out there listening

85
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: this morning who doesn't know My daughter, definite will my

86
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: daughter and son both Swimoth and darw and swimming Club.

87
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: And one of the things that I love about the

88
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: swim in Club is the fact that you kids that

89
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: you're all you know, well you're not kids anymore seventeen,

90
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: but that you actually coach those younger children as well.

91
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: I think it's a really wonderful thing.

92
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: For our younger kids to see you as role models

93
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: and to see the way that you're there swimming and

94
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: qualifying for such huge events, but then also coaching them

95
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: throughout the afternoons. And I think that that's a really

96
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: nice thing to do in something that's really wonderful, Tim, that.

97
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: You do as the head coach.

98
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: It's great to see so many swimmers each and every

99
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: afternoon at the pool there in Parrap. You've got enormous

100
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: numbers really when it comes to the darw And Swimming Club,

101
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: don't you. Yeah.

102
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: I think currently our membership base is sitting out two

103
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty odd members. Yeah, so that's swimmers parents,

104
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: so swimmers from I think our youngest is maybe five

105
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: or six, all the way up to have our oldest

106
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: an idea, but we've got adults who in the water

107
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: swimming alongside their own children, some of them or a Tim, did.

108
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: Are you talking about me? You haven't got in any

109
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: other squads yet? I don't think you would allow you to,

110
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: I don't think.

111
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: But we've got a range of different squads offered, all

112
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: just based on ability and really the folks of what

113
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: the kids are after, whether they're just after fitness or

114
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: actually after trying to get some form of success in

115
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: the sport.

116
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

117
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Well, and what some people may not realize, and you

118
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: probably won't want me to say on air, but you

119
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: were also the Northern Territories Coach of the Year last year,

120
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: and so I think it's great great to see that

121
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: swimming's got that real focus. And that's why I wanted

122
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: you all to come in today as well, because I

123
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: think swimming is a fantastic sport, but I think it's

124
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: also great to see our young people out there active,

125
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: being great role models for the rest of the community

126
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: as well. So this weekend should be a good weekend

127
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: or a good afternoon the SAVO and then the.

128
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: Rest of the days, I better make sure I actually

129
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: turn up on time. Tim on that parent really good

130
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: luck to all of you. Tim.

131
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Just a reminder for everybody if the public want to

132
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: hit out and watch some of that action, some of

133
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: the swimming actions and can they do.

134
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, they can either go down to the pool

135
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: itself or that it's also going to be live stream

136
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: through swim TV, So just google swim TV find the

137
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: Anti Championships. I think it's a six dollars fee to

138
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: register for the entire event, and that's everything's live stream.

139
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: And really this is the Northern Territory's biggest event when

140
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: it comes to swimming, isn't it. Yeah, yeah, now it

141
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: should be wonderful. Great to have you all in the
