Club Championships
In autumn, our swimmers have the chance to swim against their peers to compete for coveted medals and cups galore! The Club Championships is held over three Sundays. Swimmers aged five upwards take part in races across varying strokes and distances, with points being awarded towards trophies in different age groups. Heats are drawn up based on age and gender with family and friends able to watch and cheer on the swimmers. Following the Club Championships the points are totalled to enable the trophies to be awarded at the presentation night. For the upcoming Club Championships and presentation evening dates please see the 'Club Calendar' section.
All swimmers will be expected to attend the galas and swim the events for their age. We do appreciate some may not want to swim all the events so please sign the sheets that are on the notice board under the club programme (attached). If you do not sign the sheet you will not be able to participate. All swimmers aged 9 at 31 December are eligible to compete in galas and will receive a recognised ASA time at our club championships, the results can be found at https://www.swimmingresults.org/individualbest/
This is the same process for entering external galas and is a way of introducing the swimmers / Parents to competition. The club pays for external entry fees, limit of 5 races per event. (More information about entering galas can be found on the notice board and if you are struggling please speak to a coach or contact one of the committee)
Please ensure you enter the correct races. You need to first look whether it is girls or boys races, then check the age requirements of the event, then the stroke.
