The website continues to be an ongoing work of art. All meets are now on the web, partial records are up and we have worked out the problems with attached files. Things should be much smoother now. There is a major change to the index page to make things easier to find. The next project is to redesign the meet results and places to swim sections, as well as looking into interactive forms. We also need more photos - if anyone has please contact Barrie.
