Our Club Championships will be held at Scarborough Sports Village on Sunday 29 June 2025.
Please note there will be no training on this date.
Our Championships will be a Level 4 licensed meet this year which means that all times gained will count as official ranked Swim England times (for swimmers age 9 and over and registered as SE Club Compete). The Yorkshire Championships accept Level 4 meet qualifying times. Swimmers who are age 9 and above, currently registered as club train and would like to have their times count as official ranked times please get in touch with the club secretary to upgrade the SE membership to club compete.
What races can I enter?
Our Championships have been designed for all our training groups from Development through to Masters. It only costs £5 per person to enter as many races as you want.
With the exception of the 25m Splash and Dash Freestyle (any stroke) event which is aimed at everyone, the 25m distance events are aimed more at swimmers in Development training groups who may be competing for the first time or not had much previous competition experience.
The 100m and 200m events are aimed more toward our Performance and Masters training group swimmers.
There are some events which are only open to swim members in specific training groups – this is so that we can guide members to the events most suited to them and complete all races within the allocated pool time available to us. Where there are restrictions, these are clearly marked on the programme.
The Championships include some fun events which are an opportunity for all swimmers to work together, particularly with the relay events, across different training groups and ages – we are all one big team at the end of the day and we want everyone to feel that.
How to enter
Entries can be made via Swim Manager from early June 2025. Ages will be age on the date of the Championships, 29 June 2025. If you’re not sure about the distances to enter or need advice please just ask.
Start, and warm-up times are listed on the Event Schedule page with more information about the events.
Winners and awards
There will be 3 lots of final winners -1st, 2nd and 3rd placings – from the 3 different training groups: Development, Performance and Masters. Winners will be determined by fastest times from these training groups and the following age groupings from all heats – 7 yrs, 8 yrs, 9 yrs, 10 yrs, 11 yrs, 12 yrs, 13 yrs, 14y rs, 15 yrs, 16-24 yrs, 25-29 yrs, 30–39 yrs, 40-49 yrs, 50+ yrs. All winners will be heat declared (there will be no ‘finals’). Winners will be announced during the Championships shortly after each event and available on the live results page. Medals and awards will be available from the awards table poolside.
There will be two prizes for Top Swimmer (Open/Male and Female) awarded to those swimmers, across all training groups, who have gained the most Championship points – the more events you enter, the better chance you stand of gaining those all important points for these awards.
And finally
Winning is always good but the main objective of our Club Championships is for everyone to take part, have fun, and enjoy the experience. There will be some fun team-based events during each session because we believe that swimming should be fun and that feeling part of a bigger team is important.
