Blog 1764: Gala Entries

As a club we publish a list of up coming galas that we want swimmers to enter. Session are not booked when these galas are takening place and therefore every swimmer that qualifies for that event should be entering.

Links are always published on this blog and a closing date for entries is stated. Entries received after that date will not be accepted and swimmers will need to enter the gala direct.

Times cannot be altered by club officals when entering galas as they are taken from the British Rankings system, so enter as many events/galas as you can and keep your times upto date. This is partly why we have club champs at the end of the season so everyone can enter all the events and post new times on the system ready for the following season. Swimmers wishing to compete in a new event (one they do not have a time for already or a time that is out of date and not on the rankings system) may do so but only with a coach signing off on the entry form to state that it has been done in a time trial.

If we get more volunteers willing to take their Time Keepers/Judges and Referees qualifications this will enable us to run mini galas and keep more times upto date
