Welsh Summer Nationals 2016‏

Hi all,

 

Welsh Summer Open Meet entries are closing in on us. The qualifying times look generous which means we should be taking one of our largest teams in a long time.

 

There is an open online entry system with restricted Heats (meaning a certain amount of time has been allotted for each event), on a first come first serve basis. Entry for ASA registered members will be open as of 8:00am on Wednesday 15th June.

 

You will be able to enter online, at the time and date outlined above. As the event is first come first serve, it will be particularly important for you to submit entries as soon as the entry system opens.

 

Please find attached an excel document which will assist in highlighting exactly which events the athlete has qualified in. It would be useful to enter all Long course times, then enter Short course times where the athlete doesn't qualify with their Long course time. Could you please send this back to Kevin Schofield (fingers1500@hotmail.com) at the earliest possible opportunity, completed with the athlete's current times?

 

PB's against Welsh Qualifying Times

 

Note: Only times swam as of 1st August 2015 will be accepted.

 

The Coaching Team will be holding an internal meeting very shortly, after which we will organise and deliver a presentation with more information.

 

Kind regards,

The Regional Team

Most of you are starting to get the idea of how to pace on the 200's now.  For some of you it looks like your race plan is coming together as we are getting closer to the end of the season.  

Keep training insane or your times will remain the same! 

Some of you who were close to NER times may need to use the course converter below to see if your times from the weekend are under the qualifying standards when converted from short to long.
