After the success of Taunton Dean last year the club are once again looking to go on an away gala towards the end of season. These are a great learning curve for swimmers and an opportunity to swim in different pools and against different opponents to avoid getting stale in competition. Last year saw a nearly 90% PB total and the club with only 6 swimmers finishing 2nd in top club and winning top boy. It is amazing what a different environment can do for swimmers.
This season we are looking at doing the High Wycombe level 3 meet in July. The added bonus of this is that not only is it a level 3 meet so the vast majority of the club could enter but it is Long Course, giving vital experience for those that haven't competed Long Course before and additional race practice for those that have.
For this gala to go ahead we need swimmers to sign the form on the notice board ASAP to show intent to compete. Following that we'll need accommodation, mini bus hire, drivers and team managers to help make this event as well run as last year. No parents other than staff are allowed to attend away galas and where possible we will stream live races so parents can watch.
Please let us know by Wednesday 16th March so we can put a price together and get entries in early as it is first come first served.
