The start of something extraordinary

Uniforms

Wharenui has a number of items of club uniform available.  Some of these are compulsory once swimmer start representing the Club at high level meets (i.e. above Canterbury Junior Carnivals) and others are optional.  Club uniform must be worn by swimmers when receiving medals.  Some items are always available from reception while other must be ordered through the Uniform Officer, Debbie Rahurahu, (email: rahux2@xtra.co.nz).  Uniform order dates are posted on the Club noticeboard and sent out via email.  There may be significant delays on orders on orders of hoodies and tracksuits, which must be ordered in batches.  Second-hand uniform items can be bought and sold through the Uniform Officer.
