Hope you all have a great Xmas, go see you friends and family, play with your toys and have a well deserved break before starting the block of work leading up to the Yorkshire's in the new year. 

We hope Santa visits you all.    

Make sure you all stay safe and most importantly have fun! 
  
All the best, see you in 2018! Winking smile

Yorkshire SA Championships & Yorkshire SA Sprints Championships Entries 2018

Hi All,


Entries for the Yorkshire Championships will be taken on Monday 8th January.


The Yorkshire Championships is one of the biggest competitions in the Regional Squads calendar and therefore swimmers should enter ALL races they have achieved a qualifying time in.  For some swimmers it may look like you have a lot of events to swim when you fill your forms in, however the meet is spread across three weekends so you won't have to swim everything all in one go.

 

We will start signing forms from tonight.  Please remember we will not be able to sign forms on Monday evening as we will be coaching from 4.30pm on wards.  Please try your best to get your forms to us before a Monday night.

 

Converted times from short course are allowed.  Some of you may need to use the converter below to see if your short course times converted to long course are a Yorkshire Qualifying time.

Yorkshire Relay Selection

Hi All,


Please could you email Kevin Schofield (kevin.schofield@leeds.gov.uk) if you are unable to swim on Sunday 25th February in the Yorkshire Relays should you be selected.  This will reduce a significant amount of time in terms of team selection if we already know you are not available to swim on this date.


Many Thanks

We will be doing a 1500m Time Trial again on Thursday 21st December.  This will not be a normal session. Swimmers will perform a warm up, time trial, swim down and then they can leave.  The 1500m time trial is a key indicator in testing the endurance of the swimmers.  ALL members who are 10 and over from Regional Performance should be in attendance.  All members of Regional Development who attend Thursday mornings should also attend.  Any parents who are free to hep lap count please make yourselves available on Thursday morning.

 

Good luck everyone!
