Here is some info you will need for Sunday's gala.

 

Spectators and Entry Fee

This Sunday, doors will open at 8.00, so no one will be allowed into the building before that. Please don't forget there is ticket entry only, then pay at the door.  One ticket per swimmer.  Spectators fees will be £8.00 for full day or £5.00 morning/afternoon.  This will include a start sheet.  Raffle tickets will also be on sale at the door.

 

Swimming Bags

Please take your swimming bags and leave them upstairs in the marshaling area.  There is no space on poolside to put them so please take a small bag on poolside with just your essentials.  The bag areas will be marked so please put them in your club space.

 

Marshaling

I would just like to advise everyone on the marshalling arrangements this weekend and where swimmers should go once they've warmed up.

 

The main marshalling area is the studio space that is upstairs and faces out onto the balcony / walkway over looking poolside.

This room on the day should be accessed by swimmers only from the back stairs leading up from poolside. The medals table will also be based in here.

HLC staff have asked that all swimmers have dried off before accessing the stairs and the room, so a small towel to carry round is advisable.  Swimmers need to wear shoes (flipflops or trainers) and shirts down onto poolside and then back up to marshalling.  If swimmers do not wear their shoes they will not be allowed on poolside, hence no shoes, no swim.

Swimming bags cannot be left in the changing rooms unaccompanied if not in a locker and need to be taken up to marshalling where there will be a roped off area to put them in.

 

Marshall's are in the Studio and will be leading heats up and down the stairs. The stairways are not for swimmers to hang round in or run up and down. I'd appreciate it if you could pass this on. 

 

Unless swimmers need the bathroom or something out of their locker, the changing rooms should be empty.

 

Marshalls have specific areas to focus on and will not be hunting down late swimmers for heats. It is up to your swimmer to know when their race will be, and if they are not due on poolside they should be in the studio.

 

We would also appreciate it if parents could stay on the balcony. If a swimmer needs you for any reason they will come and find you.

 

There is a full wall of windows onto the pool from the room so many swimmers can see what heats are running.

 

Swim Shop

The swim shop will be open. 

 

Raffle

We will run a Raffle so please feel free to bring something for it.  We will aim to call the numbers out by the end of the gala.

 

Thanks for your co-operation and see you on the day.  Have good swims and enjoy.


See you Sunday and Good Luck
