If New York is the city that never sleeps, then swimming is the sport that never sleeps. Saturday, 1 June will see the start of winter and a return of the swimming calendar, with the first Learn to Race clinic taking place in Geraldton to coincide with the Geraldton SC Classic. Swimmers aged eight and over can participate in the clinic, led by Westside Christ Church coaches Jon Harrison (Swimming WA Coaching Scholarship recipient) and Will Greenwood (Swimming WA Young Leader), focusing on the skill elements of racing.
