Entries have now closed for the Winter Competitions. These are scheduled to take place at the John Charles Centre for Sport, Leeds on 9th/10th October (Upper Age Groups) and Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, Sheffield on 23rd/24th October (Lower Age Groups).
All entries have been accepted. The Level of entry for the Leeds event is very high and in order to remain within the capacity set for the John Charles Centre for Sport it will not be possible to have Spectators at this event. Clearly giving as many swimmers as possible the opportunity to compete has to be the priority.
I realise that this will be a disappointment to many Parents/Carers but there I little else we can do in the circumstances.
The level of entries for the Lower Age Group Event at Ponds Forge is considerably less than that submitted for Leeds. The capacity at Ponds Forge is clearly higher than Leeds and we will be having Spectators at Sheffield. We are also able to accept further entries from our Younger Swimmers for this event. The entry system will be going live again to accept further entries from swimmers aged 12 & under. Qualifying standards have been eased.
These can be viewed on the link below.
We welcome offers of help from technical officials at all our events. If you are able to assist us for any of the sessions please contact our Officials Coordinator, email address officialscoordinator@yorkshireswimming.org Clearly this is one way to be involved at the event if you cannot spectate!
Stay Safe

Swimming Secretary
Entries will now reopen on the City of Leeds online entry system for any 12 & under swimmers who wish to add on any additional events if they now qualify.
Kind regards,
Leeds Entries Team
