Swim England North East Region Short Course Championships 2021 – Update

We have recently confirmed that the Swim England North East Regional Swimming Championships (25m) will take place at Ponds Forge, Sheffield on the 6th & 7th November 2021. It is our intention to deliver both the Open & Age Group Championships which are normally swum in adjacent 25m pools.  There will still be a capacity limit to comply with at Ponds Forge. This could result in no Spectators being permitted within the Pool Hall area. The Spectator Seating areas may have to be used for swimmers.

Schedules/Qualifying times and conditions are now available on the Regional Website. Leeds entries will close on the 25th October 2021. We will be accepting times from meets Licensed at Levels 1 to 4.

The North East Regional Coaches forum met yesterday (28th Sept). We have decided to make some changes to the original information that was published.

  • The qualifying period is now from the 1st September 2019 until the closing date. (Additional entries may be accepted, after this date, subject to space being available)
  • We have agreed to introduce a Boys 14 yrs age group into the Age Group Championships.

The entry systems have been updated to reflect these changes. We are also inviting Officials to apply to work at the events. The application form can be found here. This is one way to ensure that you are involved in the event in the Pool Hall area.

I would recommend that any bookings made for accommodation at Sheffield are on a refundable basis. The Region will not be held responsible for any costs incurred if one, or both, of the Championships are postponed, cancelled or we have to reject swimmers to comply with capacity restrictions.

All entries must be submitted by Clubs, not individuals
