Easy Fundraising

The City of Leeds Swimming Club are always looking for new ways to raise funds to support our swimmers. The Club is registered with Easy Fundraising.

Easyfundraising.org.uk helps charities, schools, sports clubs, community groups, and other good causes to raise money when their supporters shop online. So far, they have raised over £3 million for causes throughout the UK.

It works in a similar way to many other loyalty shopping sites, but instead of earning points when you shop, you raise a donation for City of Leeds Swimming Club instead. It's as simple as that!

I am sure with Christmas fast approaching most of us will be doing our shopping online, so please register with easy fundraising, it really is a very simple way to boost funds for the club.

For information how to register click on the following link which is a letter from the supporters committee explaining how.

If you have any questions, please see a member of the supporters committee.

Happy Shopping

Junior League Grand Final 2024

Congratulations,
 
The swimmers in the link here have been selected to swim for the City of Leeds at the Inter-Junior League Grand Final in Corby on Sunday 24th November.  Please find the team roster attached.   If you have more than one child in the Club, please check the attachment to confirm which child the selection is for.  The team was selected from the Swim England rankings following the recent SE NER Championships.  The selection takes into consideration long course and short course times and results from previous rounds of the Junior League.  Swimmers will not find out the event selection until we arrive at the venue in Corby on the day.

The City of Leeds will be trying to defend their title of Junior League Champions 2023.
As always, the selection is based on the best possible result for the team.  There may be some swimmers who competed in the A Team for the White Rose round that do not make the selection for the final due to the rankings changing position, however any swimmers who contributed to the A Teams qualification into the final will be awarded with a medal and certificate.
The age for ALL swimmers competing at the final is age at 24th November 2024.
Travel
The City of Leeds swimming club will be providing a swimmer's bus for the final.  All selected swimmers will be required to meet at 8:25am, John Charles on Sunday 24th November in club kit and travel to and from Corby as part of the team.  The team bus will be expected to arrive back at John Charles at 7pm (approx).  Swimmers will need to bring a packed lunch and enough snacks and drinks to last throughout the day. 
There will be one allocated spectator ticket per swimmer, and then a couple of extra tickets which will go into a draw for those parents wishing to purchase an extra one.  Please state if you are wanting to go in the draw for extra tickets on your confirmation email.  Tickets can be purchased via the City of Leeds online entry system in due course (more information to follow). 
The Swimming Club has also been able to secure a Supporter's Bus for the Junior League Grand Final 2024. The cost for a place on the supporter's bus will be £40.00.  This also covers the cost of your spectator's ticket.  
Please confirm your place to the Junior League team leader Kevin Schofield at Kevin.Schofield@leeds.gov.uk at your earliest convenience.
Kind regards,
The Regional Team
