Marlin of the Month and Club Points
The first swim of each club night is the
“Marlin” Swim in which swimmers gain
points towards the Marlin of the Month
and Club Points Awards. At the beginning
of each year an average time is
calculated for each club member, for
each event, from swims the previous
year. Club points are calculated on this
average time until the swimmer betters
this time, then the points are calculated
on the best time for the current year.
Points are allocated according to the
following points scale;
1 point for completing the first event (>2
seconds slower than best time)
2 points for being within 0 and 2 seconds
slower than best time
3 points for being faster than best time by
up to 1 second
4 points for being faster than best time by
more than 1 second
A change was implemented allowing
each swimmer to win only one Marlin of
the Month badge each year.

of the Year 2004 to Amanda Smith
Points accumulated over the year go
towards the Club Points Awards. In 1998
the City of Melville donated a perpetual
trophy, presented to the club member
gaining the most points over the year.
Trophy winners are listed in Table 4.1.

Melville Interclub
Be Active Club Challenge (BACC)
The Melville Interclub Carnival has
continued to be a well run and well
attended event on the AUSSI WA
calendar, at times attracting over 200
swimmers. Since having a 50m indoor
pool we have not had to worry about the
weather conditions and have moved the
carnival from its regular February timeslot
to April. It is an occasion when the whole
club gets together and every member
helps out in some way. A feature of the
carnival has been the excellent spread of
food provided by members and
coordinated by Rita Blom, and more
recently Jaki Smith, for swimmers,
helpers and friends to enjoy after the
meet.

Interclub and State Competitions
Melville AUSSI has continued to be well
represented in most Interclub Meets and
State Championships. In 2004 the State
Championships were held outside of
Perth for the first time, and a large group
from Melville AUSSI travelled to
Geraldton to compete. Other popular
meets have been the Mandurah and
Margaret River Swims.

Pennant Swims
In 1998, the AUSSI Club Championships
were held for the first time. Clubs
competed in Interclub events during the
year and were graded on the results for
the end of year Club Challenge. Melville
was put in the A Grade final with the big
three clubs – Claremont, Somerset and
Osborne Park. We took up the challenge
and with over 40 members swimming on
the day won by 8 points – a huge
achievement. We didn’t make it to the A
grade final again, but did collect almost a
complete set of pennants before the
Pennant events ceased

Perth played host to international

took the opportunity to compete at an
International meet without the expense of
travelling. There was some great
swimming, but the event will be
remembered most for the great social
atmosphere. The open water swim was
held at Rottnest Island. Melville

National Aerobic Trophy
Aerobics swimming has remained
popular. It’s a great way to get fit and gain
points for the club at the same time.
Members can set challenges according to
their ability, whether it be completing a
set of 5 400m freestyles, doing a one
hour swim, or perhaps even completing
all of the aerobics swims in the year.

Marlin of Mediocrity
This award was donated by Peter
Maloney to recognise those swimmers
who have not reached the pinnacle of
success over the past year, but have
done enough to be more successful than
at least half the club. It is calculated from
club points and aerobic points. Strangely
enough,
members
are
not
that
enthusiastic to receive this award, but as
can be seen from the winners in Table
4.6, they are in good company.

National Top Ten
The National Top Ten records the ten
best performances by gender and age
group in all events during the year. Times
swum in AUSSI competitions and aerobic
swims
are
automatically
entered.
Members can also submit times from club
nights. Swimmers achieving a first place
in the National Top Ten are listed in Table
4.7.
State Records
Table 4.8 lists Melville AUSSI members
who have set State records in the last ten
years. State records can be set at any
AUSSI competition between clubs that
has the required officials present. Short
course records were introduced in 1998,
giving many members the opportunity to
set inaugural records, and improve the
times already set.

This trophy is awarded to a member who
has joined in the previous year or so, and
has become a valued club member. In
2003 this trophy was renamed the John
Devereaux trophy, because John was
always
very
much
involved
in
encouraging new and old members alike
to have a go.
It is hoped that the award will encourage
the member to continue their involvement
with the club. Deciding on a recipient is
always a hard choice, because we would
like to encourage all of our new members.
Many of the past winners are still active
members. Our club would not be the
same without them. Amazingly, six of
them have gone on to swim solo to
Rottnest. Others have regularly held
positions on the club committee, or
figured prominently in other club awards.

Open Water Swimming
Members have the opportunity to
compete in Open Water Swims nearly
every weekend during summer. Swims
range in distance from the 750m Coogee
Jetty to Jetty to the 20km Rottnest
Channel Swim, and from Albany to
Gerladton. Melville AUSSI has two
perpetual trophies for Open Water
Swims. The Nancy Davies Trophy is
awarded to the club member who swims
closest to their nominated time in the
Swim Thru Rottnest (Table 4.10). The
President’s Trophy was awarded for
closest to nominated time in the Cottesloe
Mile, and more recently in the Coogee
Jetty to Jetty Swim (Table 4.11).

Masters Swimming WA introduced an
Open Water Series in 1997/98. Points are
awarded in each Open Water Swim in the

In 2003 Melville AUSSI held the inaugural
BBB River Swim. The swim was from the
Left Bank to Bicton and Back, a distance
of 7km. There was also a 7km duo swim,
with the swimmers changing over at
Bicton, or a 3.5km swim from Bicton to
the Left Bank. In 2004, the swim was the
named the Taylor Marine BBB Swim and
was run from Bicton to the Left Bank and
Back. In 2005 the weather forecast was
diabolical which kept numbers down, but
the morning of the swim dawned fine,
breezy and cool, but not raining. We had
over
70
swimmers.
Thanks
to
sponsorship from Resolve Financial
Services, the profit from the swim was in
excess of $2000. In 2006 the swim was
named the Resolve River Swim, and was
held as a 7km solo swim from Bicton to
the Left Bank and Back, and a 1.6km
swim in Bicton Bay. There were 167
entrants. Thanks to sponsorship from
Resolve Financial Services, the swim
raised in excess of $5000. Part of the
funds is to be used to purchase a
wheelchair for Melville Aquatic Centre.
The BBB is a whole of club activity and
members’ involvement is crucial, whether
it be setting the course, support paddler,
recording the results, cooking the
sausages or any of the numerous jobs
that make a successful swim.

CHAPTER 5: FRIENDSHIP AND FUN
Many of Melville AUSSI’s social traditions
have continued into the last ten years.
We continue to welcome the New Year
with a swim at Cottesloe Beach on New
Years day, followed by a breakfast at the
Surf Club. Later in January, the Memorial
Swim is contested at Rockingham Beach
followed by fun (cheating) team games
then back to the Medcalfs’ house at
Shoalwater for a barbeque lunch and a
game of bocce on the front lawn. The golf
day has had a change of venue, but is
still a popular day for golfers and nongolfers alike. The Rottnest weekend is
always well attended by members, and is
enjoyed by all. Each Thursday Night we
congregate in the meeting room at the
Melville Fitness and Aquatic Centre for a
drink with cheese and biscuits, and if we
are lucky, a cake to celebrate a birthday.
The first Thursday of each month is
Hearty Meal Night when members each
bring a plate of food to share.
