Regional Squad - Attendance

Hi all,

Just a friendly reminder that as we get back into the swing of things after the Summer Break, all members of Regional Age Group Development 1 and 2 (aged 9 years+) should be attending one early morning (Mon/ Thu) as agreed before taking up placement in the squad.  Prescribed mornings will be communicated within the next few weeks.

Saturday mornings will start this week.  Thursday mornings will resume from Thursday 1st October and Monday mornings from the 5th October (this is later than planned, to let swimmers get settled back into their routine with school after the long summer break).

This will hopefully maximise your swimmer's potential and give them the best possible chance of meeting the squad criteria by the end of the January New Year Meet 2027.  This competition will be the last chance to qualify for the Long Course Yorkshire Championships 2027.

Squad criteria and membership standards can be found here.
 
Remember, consistency week in week out is the key to success and swimmers who have to miss a session should try where possible to make up.
