Dear Parent,
The window of opportunity to express your interest in your child swimming at the Welsh Summer Open Meet is now open. This window will close on Friday 7th February.
The Welsh Summer Open Meet runs from Thursday 30th July until Monday 3rd August. The team bus will travel to Swansea on Wednesday 29th July and return on Tuesday 4th August.
This competition acts as an excellent platform for preparing Junior Athletes for life away from home at Swimming Camps and long challenging competitions.
This opportunity is presented to children in National Squad, National Age Group, Junior Performance and Regional Performance who meet the eligible age for competition, which are 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 & over (as of 31st December 2020).
Please note that for the time being this is simply an 'expression of interest'. Swimmers must meet the qualifying times published by Swim Wales in order to enter the competition. The cost of the Welsh Summer Meet will be confirmed on the presentation evening which will include travel, accommodation, food and staffing. The cost of swimming events must be entered individually. There will be further communication when this is due.

We would like to invite you to join us at a Presentation evening to provide more information about the event, in April.
Email Callum Gladding at callum.gladding@leeds.gov.uk to express your interest in your child attending the event.
Kind regards,
The Regional Team
