Cheetahs Swimming Club

Events

Generally three events are conducted each Thursday evening commencing at 6pm. The events are mostly shorter sprints but there are the occasional distance events to test the resolve. All standards of swimming ability are catered for by the handicap system, which provides everyone with winning opportunities and point score prizes. Swimming is usually followed by a get together at one of City Tatts bars with drinks (non-alcoholic for some) and optional light meals.

The annual program includes a number of trophy nights usually accompanied by a dinner, and the competitive year ends in December with open and age championships.

Cheetahs members may attend on as many Thursdays as they wish but must compete on at least twelve Thursdays during the year to be eligible to swim in the end of year championship events.

Activities

Some members describe the Cheetahs as the Social Club that swims. Annual social and sporting activities include:

• Golf days and mixed Golf weekend;
• Skiing weekend with our Ski Club;
• Beachcomber Island (Fiji) tour ocean race competition (we send both swimming and social teams);
• Bushwalking;
• Two Tatts relay –competition between our Club and Tattersalls Club;
• Themed nights at restaurants;
• Numerous social nights; and
• Mixed Christmas social

Ocean Racing

The swimming club has a group of ocean swimmers who regularly compete here in the Sydney region and tour to regional and exotic locations like Fiji. The group has competitors who are there to win and a larger group who are happy to survive and experience the camaraderie.

If you have not joined us yet, come down to the pool at 6pm on Thursday and look us over. And don’t be shy, say hello and have a swim! You will be most welcome.

Cost

Membership is limited to male City Tatts members as the pool is part of the Men’s Fitness Centre facilities. Annual membership fee is $10.00, with a swimming night fee of $3.00 payable on each attendance. These are in addition to City Tatts Fitness Centre fees.

Cycling Club

City Tattersalls Cycling Club. Formed by a group of nine friends and Club Members, the Sub-Club is looking for Members to get involved and join them on their rides through some of the most breathtaking areas of NSW – and beyond.

The group start at the same point and finish together, but in between, the route may differ, ensuring that everyone involved rides within their comfort level and ability. The Sub-Club is keen on expanding exponentially, and are inviting both men and women to join up. The best part? You don’t need to be a member of the Fitness Centres to get involved.

The Club is planning to run quarterly orientation sessions that will cover everything from basic riding techniques, riding in a peloton, equipment choices, changing tyres, as well as nutrition and hydration. New starters will hone their skills on easy, flat terrain before the open rides begin. Even for the more experienced riders, safety is paramount – so the group opts for national parks, where there is reduced traffic, the air is clean and the scenery is peerless.

So, what makes the perfect ride? It couldn’t be simpler, says member Glenn “The company, the weather, location, and great coffee afterwards – and don’t forget a good rest and nutrition the night before!”
