Derbyshire County Champs - warm ups & draft programmes

Please check your child's entries - any errors should be notified to the competition manager (compmanager@derbyshireswimming.org.uk) as soon as possible - after the 3rd February changes will not be possible.

Please note that for sessions 7 and 8 (a.m. & p.m. Sat 24th) warm ups will be 1 hour and 15 minutes long.

Any withdrawals should be notified as soon as possible via the channels detailed in the entry pack, including session and event number:

'WITHDRAWALS
Competitors may withdraw from events up to 1 hour before the scheduled start of the session. Prior to 20:00pm on the Friday before the session withdrawals can be made by telephoning 01332 677709 or by email to Joyce Mellor: comp@derbyshireswimming.org.uk After the above time withdrawals can be made by texting 07929 377809 prior to the start time of the warm up and leaving a message stating swimmers name, gala, event number and competitor number. Withdrawals on the day of the competition can also be made on a completed form which must be given to the administration desk prior to the start of the warm up to avoid a fine.

FINES FOR LATE WITHDRAWALS OR NO-SHOWS
Late withdrawals and no-shows without an acceptable written reason being reported to the administration desk will result in a £5.00 fine per swim, payable by the club under whose name the swimmer has entered the competition. Non-payment of the fine will result in the swimmer being prevented from entry to any other competition promoted by Derbyshire ASA until the fine has been paid.'

Please do not rely on coaches or Team Managers to make withdrawals for you - it is your responsibility to notify withdrawals to the competition organisers.

Finally, please can you let me know (swimsecretary@longeatonswimmingclub.org.uk) if you are able to help at any sessions.

Thanks
