Scarborough Spring Splash April 2024 – Important changes to meet.

SCARBOROUGH SWIMMING CLUB

IMPORTANT ANNNOUNCENT

SPRING OPEN MEET 

SUNDAY 7TH APRIL 2024

To All Our Supporting Clubs

We are sure you are all aware that our Spring Open Meet has reached its capacity very quickly when entries were opened last week. It has been a disappointment that we have had so many entries rejected.

However, in conjunction with our pool partners, Everyone Active, we have managed to secure the pool for the Saturday afternoon 6th April 2024.

This does mean that we have had to rearrange the scheduling of the events over the 2 days. The new scheduling will be attached to this note and we hope that this will allow more swimmers to compete in our gala. There will now be 3 sessions of 12 events. Session 1 will be on Saturday afternoon and will finish no later than 6.30pm. Session 2 will be on Sunday morning and Session 3 on Sunday afternoon.

The entries that have been submitted and accepted do not have to be re-entered. Those places are confirmed. Please withdraw any swimmer who cannot compete if the new scheduling is not suitable. Any monies sent will be refunded to the relevant club.

It is our intention to release the gala for entries on Wednesday 15th November at 10am and entries will be accepted on a first come basis until the capacity is reached.

We hope this is acceptable to all our supporters and that the swimmers can all enjoy the unique gala that Scarborough Swimming Club offers?

If you have any further query’s please contact the meet promoters through the normal channels.

Thank you for your understanding.

Meet the club welfare officer

Meet the club welfare officer…..

My name is Adrian and I am the Welfare Officer for Kingfishers Swimming Club. I have been involved in this role for just over 3 years. Previous to that I was just a happy grandparent sat on the balcony cooking alive watching my grandson swim.

I was originally born in Nottingham but landed in Scarborough around 1993 having moved down from Edinburgh. I have lived in a variety of areas including Cumbria, West Yorkshire and Wiltshire.

I have one son who has recently moved to live in New Zealand and 4 grandchildren 2 that currently swim for Kingfishers and one that is desperate to join when he is old enough. My 4th grandchild lives in Bangkok so a long way to come for a Wednesday night session.
