Some swimmers (mainly new swimmers and under 8 years) will not be entered into breaststroke, butterfly and IM because they are not ready to do these strokes. Carole will speak to you if this is what we decide or you can go and speak to her.

About the OPENS: These events are for the top 5 swimmers at each age. Open events are 50m races and use crossover age ranges: 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14+, giving the better swimmers an opportunity to race against a different age group.

We cannot run the Home Championship without volunteers to help with timekeeping and other duties. If every parent available can volunteer for just one session when their child is swimming, we will easily have enough helpers. Participating is always more fun than just watching. Look out for the sign-up sheet on the Seals noticeboard. Thanks!

Here’s a full list of all the swimming sessions through to September. There are no Sunday sessions from 20th July to 31st August (inclusive). If you are in lane 3 of session 2, please attend session 3 during the holidays. Members of the Rother League team from session 3, please come at session 2 start times on 26th and 29th August.
