Get yourself together for a splash 'n' dash. Featherston Community Swimming Relay

Piers Fuller Reporter from News of Wairarapa

Featherston Community Swimming Relay is on Tuesday Feb 19th, starting at 6.30 pm, runs to approx 8.30 pm.
Teams of 4 swimmers swim 1 length each in a heat, then each team goes into a graded final. The fastest 7 teams swim off for the "Pioneer Trophy" in top final. We handicap the finals so finishes are pretty cool and action packed with all teams finishing at same time.
Each team can enter 1 swimmer into a separate 25 m Dash to win the SWDC "25m Dash " trophy. This sprint is not handicapped so it's a great adrenaline swim in the final. Current "Dash", champion Jon Winter, ex Olympic swimmer and ex Featherston Swimming Club member ,travels from Kapiti to compete annually and is over 40 yrs.
Team entry is $30 per team. Spectators $2 . Great raffles and Greytown Butcher sausage sizzle available. Our SWDC councillors on hand to hand out chocolate as each swimmer finishes.
