Go Swanny!
We are always stoked to see Swanny’s red and white cap in action at SLSWA carnivals, States and Aussies during the season. While we have a number of high-level competitors, our unofficial motto is “Not last, not lapped”. This represents our encouragement of participation, and having a go, across all ages, whether that be Nippers, Age, Open or Masters. We’d love you to get involved in training, don a Swanny cap at a carnival and give a few events a crack as either an individual or team.
Please note that to be eligible to compete at interclub carnivals you must complete a minimum 16 patrol hours during the calendar year (across two seasons).
Carnivals
Swanny’s favourite event on the carnival calendar is Country Carnival. Country Carnival is a carnival hosted by one of SLSWA’s country clubs, anywhere from Geraldton to Esperance, over the Australia Day long weekend. Swanny turns out en masse for a weekend of camping, competition, celebrations.....and of course Swanny's famous Country Carnival costume themes. For many of our new (and existing) members this is a great was to dip their toes into surf sports and carnival life, and cheer other Swanny legends to glory. This weekend is not to be missed!
