Are you a highly organised administrative professional looking for a flexible, part-time role?
St Paul’s Swimming Club is seeking a dedicated Club Administrator to join our team for 12 hours per week. This role is to ensure our operations, communications, and finances run smoothly so our coaches can focus on the water.

The Role
You will be the primary point of contact for our swimming families and the lead systems administrator for our management system, iClassPro.

Key responsibilities include:
Member Relations: Managing new enquiries, booking assessments, and assisting with account setups.

Communication: Coordinating club-wide newsletters and managing our social media presence.

Financials: Processing monthly fees, managing junior coach timesheets, and chasing outstanding accounts.

Logistics: Coordinating travel and accommodation for away meets and assisting with the organisation of club nights and prizegiving.

12 hours per week with a flexible schedule.
Must be available onsite between 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm on certain weekdays to provide face-to-face assistance to members.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail,
and a "can-do" attitude. While experience with iClassPro is a significant advantage, we are willing to train the right person who is tech-savvy and eager to learn.

🏊 SWIMMER OF THE MONTH: MAY 🏊

Congratulations, Indie Gallagher. 🌟

Indie has been showing up to training consistently and giving everything she has got. What has caught our attention most is what she does in the back half of sets. When it gets hard, she does not back off.

So proud of you, Indie. Keep building. 💛🖤

STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE RACES

Good luck to all our swimmers heading to Star Wars Meet on Sunday

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about stepping up, having a go.

Race hard, support your teammates, and enjoy it. For some of you, it’s your first meet. For others, it’s another chance to get better. Treat it the same. Turn up and give it everything.

And yes, bring the energy. Costumes, relays, team spirit. That’s what makes this one different.

Let’s get after it.

NAGS is here.
Next week, 12 St Paul's Swim Club swimmers step up to the National Age Group Championships and every single one of them has earned their place.
While most kids were sleeping in and enjoying their summer holidays, our swimmers were in the water. Early starts, hard sets, day after day. That dedication is what got them here and it is something to be seriously proud of.

Samantha Alderton, Lachlan Collins, Max Cryer, Lani Jarrett, Eunice Liu, Tessa Scott, Kaylee Smith, Samantha Tilley, Simiosi Tukia, Elieta Tukia, Logan Woods and Charlie Alderton, this is your chance to show what you can do. Go in confident, race your own race, and leave absolutely nothing in the tank.

To every parent and supporter who made those early mornings possible, thank you. It takes more than the swimmers and we appreciate your support.

We could not be prouder of our team heading down to NAGS. Now go show them what St Paul's is made of.
