Club Championships 2018
This year our Club Sprints (held in June) form part of our Club Championships, along with the usual longer events in September and October. There will be prizes for the best overall swimmers in each age group, based on adding the points scored from the best swim in each of these five categories:
> 50m (from the Club Sprints)
> 100m
> 200m (NOT Freestyle)
> 400m, 800m or 1500m Freestyle (200m Freestyle for 8 years & Under)
> Individual Medley
All events will be licensed, including the Sprints, meaning that the times achieved can be used to enter the County Championships, Open Meets, etc.
Club Sprints
The Club Sprints will be held from 4pm on Sunday 17th June and Sunday 24th June, in place of our normal training sessions.
