Yorkshire Swimming Association Championships 2025 - Late Entries

Please see email below from the Yorkshire's Entries Secretary regarding late entries into the Yorkshires

 

We have received a couple of emails asking for entries to be accepted, after the advertised closing date, for the Championships and therefore contrary to the published meet 
conditions.  We are aware that the City of Leeds club decided to cancel two sessions of the City of Leeds New Year Meet on Sunday 5th January 2025. The sessions on the Saturday were swum along with all sessions at the Harrogate Janus Meet over the same weekend. There were a considerable number of Licenced Meets in December 2024.

Qualifying times for the Championships could be obtained between 1st October 2023 and the closing date, a period of two years.

The Championships are at capacity. Accepted entries have been published along with a Draft Programme.

We are not accepting entries to the Championships achieved after the closing date.

Kingston Upon Hull A/B Easter Meet - Entry Check

Please check your entries into the Kingston Upon Hull A/ B Meet are up to date using the link here.

ALL PARENTS MUST UPDATE ENTRY TIMES

At the moment all swimmers are entered with no entry times.  This is because this is not the usual entry system we normally use to enter competitions.  Swimmers can manually update entry times up until the day of the gala.

In order to do this please click the refresh button next to your name on this link.  

Read the instructions and where it tells you to 'click here', click.  

This will take you to your swimmers rankings page.  

Press CTRL A on the keyboard to select the whole of your swimmers rankings page.

Press CTRL C on the keyboard to copy their rankings page.

Go back to the webpage with the instructions and red box on.  

Click in the red box and press CTRL V to copy your swimmers rankings into the red box.  

This should then update your swimmers entry times for the gala.

FAILURE TO DO THIS BEFORE THE COMPETITION WILL MEAN YOUR SWIMMER COULD BE IN A HEAT WITH NO TIME!

Kind regards.

Leeds Entries Team
