A quick reference guide for entering competitions:

 

General Information:

 

  • Keep a record of your times. You can find these at www.swimmingresults.org/individualbest and by entering your membership no. or family name. It will give you the venue, the date and the level of the competition.
  • Some competitions have QT's/Qualifying Times. In this case you can only enter if you have achieved that time.
  • Some Open Meets do not have QT's and you may enter if you have no time but you will be put into the slowest heats. If you enter with a time you will be put into a heat with other swimmers with similar times so you may be with other children of a different age group. Remember you are really racing the clock, it's all about times!
  • You need to try and enter events regulary to keep an up to date bank of times.
  • If you need to get a time, ask your coach to do a time trial. Remember PB's stand for Personal Best - your best ever time in that event!

 

 

Competition Entry Forms:

 

  • Please read the information about the event carefully.
  • Make sure you fill in as much information and that you include your times.
  • If you have any questions, please ask as incorrectly filled out forms cause delays.
  • Competitions have closing dates which are not negotiable so therefore you have to get your entries to us before this. We will always give you a closing date for your entry.
  • Where possible can you please pay the competition fees via the PayPal links

 

Please do not leave forms until the last minute. There is a large team of people collating the information both at our club and at the event, so time is important!
