The coaches at Long Tan Memorial Pool are employees of Rackley Swimming – which is a separate entity to the Gardens Swimming Club. Therefore, when any number of the Rackley Swimming coaches attend an official meet to support and mentor the Gardens swimmers, a fee is charged to each swimmer in order to subsidise the costs of hiring the coaches plus their associated costs such as accommodation and petrol costs if it is an out-of-town meet. This cost is currently $3.00 per nominated event (race) on Swim Central which a swimmer is entered.

As swim meets are released, it will be advised via email from the Gardens Nominations Race Secretary if there will be Rackley Swimming coach in attendance at each meet.

The total of the coaches’ fee per swimmer is payable to the club prior to attending each swim meet. Payment of the fee per nominated event in Swim Central is to be made directly into the Gardens Bank Account.
