Hi all,
Entries for the City of Leeds Xmas Meet (13th, 14th & 15th December) open online for entry tomorrow. Entries will close on Monday 11th November. Please remember entries are not accepted until payment is completed, once payment is made entries cannot be changed.
Try and plan your events wisely so you are not repeating the same events 3 weeks later at the New Year Meet (unless you are using this as a backup should you miss your Yorkshire time at the Xmas Meet).
If you have already qualified for the Yorkshire's or NER's in an event, then we advise focusing on achieving qualifying times in other events. You will get chance to swim your best events at the Yorkshire Championships in February.
We strongly advise entering the 200m Individual Medley and updating your 50m Freestyle and your best 50m form stroke for selection into the Yorkshire teams in February.
Regional Development
Below is a link to your PB's. Focus on racing the events you are closest to Yorkshire or NER times in at the December Meet. All swimmers should enter the 200m IM at either the Christmas or New Year meet. Swimmers should try to update long course times in as many events as possible over Xmas and New Year competitions.
If you have never swum an event before the Xmas or New Year meet is the perfect opportunity to do this.
Try and plan so you have no more than 2 events per session unless you are swimming a 50 in which case 3 events per session maximum.
Thursday Am swimmers and the swimmers who I have spoken to please enter the 400m Freestyle and 400m IM over the two meets.
Regional Performance

Try and plan so you have no more than 2 events per session unless you are swimming a 50 in which case 3 events per session maximum.
All swimmers should aim to cover the 400m Free and IM over the 2 competitions. 800m & 1500m freestyle is available but please speak to Oli before entering.
