Training Changes - June 1st

There will be no training on Saturday 1st June for those swimmers competing in the White Rose Junior League.  

Training will be on for all other swimmer in the dive pit, 07:30 - 09:00.

Kind regards,
The Regional Team

White Rose Junior League - 1st June

Please ensure that your child arrives promptly at 08:45, John Charles, Leeds on Saturday 1st June to check in with team managers in the dance studio (upstairs before the balcony doors). There will be a swimmers team meeting to explain the schedule and team tactics for the day.

Races will be announced on the morning of the competition in case we have to make any last-minute changes. Team selections were made following the Hull Meet, Stocksbridge Spring Open & NER's.  The most recent No Frills competition results will not be taken into consideration for this round.  The team list can be found here.


All swimmers should be wearing Team Kit, if your child does not have team kit, please ensure they are wearing blue and yellow to replicate the team colours as close as possible.   

A polite notice to parents who are coming to support your team, please also aim to wear club colours and also try to sit together as a team on the balcony. Don't forget your hats, wigs, horns, face paints etc.  The louder you cheer the faster the swimmers will go!  
 
Swimmers, please arrive and warm up in the costume you wish to compete in.  There will be no time after the warmup to change into racing suits.  

Children will not be allowed to leave poolside, this is a fast and ferocious competition, team managers will not have time to hunt swimmers down from the balcony.  Therefore, please ensure your children have appropriate food and hydration for the morning.  
 
You are reminded that this is a TEAM event, and as such all members of the team will stay until the end (estimated 12:30, 1pm latest).  Win or lose, we will show the integrity that our role models show and applaud our fellow competitors.  

Schedule
Arrive:  8:45am
Team Talk & Photos:  08:55
Warm Up: 09:20 - 09:50
Teams to meet in changing rooms:  09:55
Parade of Teams:  10:00
Start:  10:15
Approx Finish:  12:30
 
Photo Consent  
We would like to do a team photo for social media and any results posts.  Anyone who does not want their child photographed must express this in writing by email to kevin.schofield@leeds.gov.uk by the start of the competition.
 
Tattoos  
In preparation for the Junior League Anna Darnell and Helen Ellis will be selling City of Leeds tattoos, 2 for £1.  Due to the tight schedule on the morning of competition we advise swimmers to apply their tattoos at home before the competition.    
 
Swimmers, please remember everything you have practised during training.  This will be a tough competition; every millisecond counts in an event like this. Remember shallow dives, kick hard, get up, race hard and don't slow down into the finishes.  BE CAREFUL ON THE TAKEOVERS!!!! It is better to go late than go early.  We need to grab every point we can, getting disqualified can cause the team to lose vital points. 
    
The winning team will go through to the Grand Final held in Corby, Northampton on Sunday 27th November.  
 
Please note, the A Team on the day of the White Rose round is not guaranteed to be the same team selected for the Grand Final.  The team for the final will be selected from Swim England rankings following the Winter Yorkshires.  Any times posted in the White Rose competition will also be taken into consideration for selection into the final.  
 
Good Luck Everyone!  We hope you have a fun, exciting and enjoyable day.
