Have a safe journey to Harrogate.

URGENT - OFFICIALS
Do you have any qualified officials who would be available to help at any of the sessions?  There are a number of meets on this weekend and also many officials are taking a well earned break.

We are still a few short on some sessions. We are willing to accept offers from J1T as well.

If so please ask them to complete our online form here

As it is Easter we will not be enforcing the 50% reduction of expenses for officials with a swimmer or only offering to help for one session.

Summer Break

Hi all,

We hope the season has been successful for your children so far, and as we race to the closing meets of the season we begin to plan for the next. Please find below the dates for the Summer Break. 

The final session of the season will be Saturday 25th July and the first session back after the break will be Tuesday 25th August (AGD2) & Wednesday 26th August (AGD1). 

There will be no Monday am or Thursday am training on return.  The start date for morning training will be confirmed nearer the time.

We hope you enjoy your summer break, whatever you do and wherever you go.
