City of Leeds Xmas Meet Entries

Hi All,
 
Please remember entries for the City of Leeds Xmas Meet will be taken on Monday 16th November. 
 
This will be the second meet in December that the Regional Squads will be attending.  Therefore plan your events wisely.  Do not repeat the same events you are racing at Bradford the weekend before. 
 
If you have already qualified  for the Yorkshire's or NER's in an event focus on obtaining times in other events.  I would strongly advise entering the 200m Individual Medley and also update your 50m Freestyle and your best 50m time for selection in the Yorkshire teams in February.

If you would like to come to the party please bring your £6:50 along with your food order to Jo Yeomans who will be taking money on the following 3 Fridays 13th & 20th November) (cash only).  Final numbers and payment needs to be in by the Friday 20th November if you wish to attend.

Competitive Start Award - City of Bradford Meet

Hi All,

 

With regards to the City of Bradford Meet in December, you may/may not be aware that Shipley Pool is a double shallow end pool, meaning kids will be required to start from blocks in to 1.2m depth pool!

 

Children are only allowed to do this on completion of the ASA Competitive Start Award which some of you may remember we use to run as bit of a holiday session for them to complete the necessary requirements to show they had the capabilities. However, we haven't run a course for a couple of years now and I assume most/all those eligible to compete in the Bradford meet will not hold the ASA Competitive Start Award!

 

Swimmers will need to be assessed by their coach and need to be signed off as competent to complete the dive start.  Regional Squads will be completing this test on the following Mondays in the end 25x25m pool with the floor depth at 1.3m.  Failure to attend and pass this award will mean swimmers are not safe to start from blocks into 1.2m and will have to start races in the water at this meet.

 

Regional Development - Monday 16th November

Regional Performance - Monday 23rd November

Junior League Final Tickets

Junior League Grand Final tickets are available from Emma Ferriman.

There are 45 tickets allocated for the Junior League Grand Final by the League. Each swimmer is entitled to one supporters ticket. Any parent wishing to go into a draw for a second ticket may do so.

Tickets are £20. This is inclusive of Coach travel and is non-negotiable. If you don't wish to take up your ticket please let Emma know and it will go into the draw. Please do not give your ticket to another parent.

To accept your entitled ticket; or accept your entitled ticket and request an additional ticket from the draw, you must contact Emma Ferriman no later than 9:00pm Friday 20^th November. Please note you will not be able to request an additional ticket after this time. The draw for additional tickets will take place on Monday 23^rd November.

Parking in Corby at the pool is very limited so the coach is probably the best option. Finally the children will be travelling to and from the event on the team coach so will need dropping and collecting from John Charles, so parents are better off travelling on the supporters coach.

Emma Ferriman contact details: 07812353820/emmaferriman@doctors.org.uk

Please note also that all selected swimmers are expected to travel to and from the event as a team.

Parent please make every effort to wear team colours if you are coming to support our swimmers.

 

Thanks
