This is an internal gala exclusively for our club members; participation details will be sent via email in May

 

Selection Process
All you need to do is confirm your child's participation. They will be entered into EVERY event their squad races in.
 

Represent the club in various competitions

​

Participation information will be communicated via email, and we hope that EVERY swimmer will be available to represent the club. These galas have seen remarkable success in recent years, and we encourage all kids to vie for positions in the team. 

 

Participating offers numerous benefits, including fostering teamwork, enhancing mental resilience, and instilling a sense of pride. Your child will compete against peers of THEIR skill level, ensuring a fair and motivating experience.

 

Selection Process:
The coaches will assemble the team based on availability and most recent times. Selections will be shared by Elliot. The coaches will also determine which races each child participates in, creating an exciting and eagerly anticipated experience for the swimmers.
 

These events provide an opportunity for swimmers to represent themselves and achieve official competitive swim times (which the coaches use when selecting the Squad for team events). These times can serve as stepping stones to larger competitions.

​

​Elliot will email detailed information, including an Entry Pack, specifying event details, dates, order, and entry fees (typically around £7 - £15).

​

You will receive nother email with a link to press to enter meet. You then log in to swim manager to view this. Look at the gala schedule. 

​

You and your child can decide which events they would like to compete in, and our team is always ready to offer guidance on suitable choices (and provide your child’s times). The swim manager guide, which we have sent out and is saved under documents on swim manager can also help you if struggling with the technical side.

​

Tick the races you want to do and press submit (or save as draft if you want to edit later).

​

Your payments will be taken automatically by direct debit a few days after the gala closing date.
