After a long break from competing, we are really pleased that we can get back to racing again as a team. Age groups have been reorganised from previous years to reflect that some of the younger swimmers in our region haven’t had the opportunity to gain much team racing experience since 2019.
Owing to the continued prevalence of COVID within our community, to limit risk, we will not be providing a team bus & ask that swimmers be transported to the gala independently wearing their swimming costumes to limit use of the changing rooms and do a lateral flow test the morning of the gala. Once poolside, please limit toilet visits and keep your kit and personal belongings in your bag. Spectators are asked to wear a face covering when moving around the leisure centre. Please do not attend if you have COVID symptoms.
Thank you so much in advance to all our amazing volunteers for supporting these galas – we can’t run them without you.
Please can all swimmers confirm to the coaching team that they can attend.
Swimmers should aim to be poolside no later than 3:20pm
Be part of the team, have fun and support each other!
If swimmers need to leave the poolside for any reason, please tell the poolside team where you are going. Wear your club kit and cap if possible. Bring something to eat (snacks – fruit, nuts, etc.), an extra towel, a bottle of water/plenty to drink, spare goggles and a hat if you have them and if you take medication, please make sure you have this with you. Loads more info here about what you might need especially if this is your first gala.
The team is the fastest combination of swimmers, per age group, chosen in consultation with members of the coaching team and final approval from the Head Coach.
Spectator tickets will be available on a first come, first served basis and will cost £2
Remember please confirm swimmers’ availability ASAP
