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.

Junior League Grand Final 2026 - Age 11 & 12 Team Selection

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 29th November.  The team was selected from the Swim England rankings following the recent Yorkshire 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 2025.

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 29th November 2026.

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 29th 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 is also in the process of securing a Supporter's Bus for the Junior League Grand Final 2026. The cost for a place on the supporter's bus will be £50.00.  This covers the cost of your spectator ticket, travel to and from the venue and a Junior League Final T Shirt for your child.  

Please confirm your place to the Junior League team leader Kevin Schofield at Kevin.Schofield@leeds.gov.uk at your earliest convenience.

Kind regards,

Kevin

City of Leeds New Year Meet Entries

Hi all,

 

Entries for the City of Leeds New Year Meet held at John Charles on Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th January are now open online.  This will be open for entry until 21:30 on Monday 16th November.  Entries are not accepted until payment is made, failure to pay before the deadline means your entries will not be processed.

 

This will be the last opportunity to qualify for the Yorkshire Long Course Championships 2027 before the closing date.

 

With this in mind we advise swimmers to enter any events you are close to qualifying in.  Swimmers who have achieved Yorkshire times do not need to swim these events at the January Meet as you will be racing them in February, please focus on updating times in other races.  There is limited space available in the 1500m/ 800m Freestyle (swimmers aged 11+, age at 10th January), this will be filled on a first come first serve basis.  Only swimmers who have already achieved a Yorkshire qualifying time in the 400m Freestyle should enter.

 

Please find a link to the Yorkshire Qualifying times below and also the New Year Meet entry pack.
