You may need to use the converter (by clicking here) to convert the times you achieved this weekend in the long course pool (50m) to the short course pool format (25m).  This will enable you to see if you have made a  Winter Yorkshire qualifying time.  The Yorkshire Winter Meet takes place in a short course pool and this why you need to use the converter.  

Your challenge is to attempt to make the qualifying standard for as many different events as you can before entries close in September. Good Luck.   


Not long to go now until our Olympics (Welsh Nationals & Sheffield Summer B Grade).  This is the last stretch now until the end of the season, try to attend every session between now and then to give you the best possible chance of success.  Lets smash it!!!!!! 

Remember............
Always practice Olympic starts, turns and finishes in training and then transfer this into your race.

Lack of concentration on skills in training only means you will be getting great at performing poor starts, turns and finishes.

Speed + no skill = only good until the skilful swimmers catch up
Skill + no speed = looks pretty but can't quite manage to achieve the qualifying time
Speed + Great Skills = recipe for success

Keep Training Hard! Emoji
