How about getting individual times up here? If you’re worried about privacy, assign each child a number (ID) that only they and their family know. and publish times against each ID.
There don’t seem to be any. I guess it’s because they’d be quite boring books. I can write one now: “Got up at 4am; swam for 3 hours; had breakfast; trained in the gym; swam for 3 hours; had lunch; slept; went for a run; had tea; swam for 2 hours; went to bed”. Repeat this diary entry each day, with slight variations, for 15 years. There! An instant swimmer’s biography!
The Members Only page provides access to our gala results and swimming times. It also has photos of Seals in action. If you want the password to access this area, send an email to the webmaster (telling me who you are!).
