End of Season Meet

Hi All,
 
Just to make you all aware of the plans up to the end of the season.  For those swimmers not going to Wales we will be adding an end of season meet to our competition programme. This will give you all something to focus and train hard for.  Hopefully this is the meet where you will get your best times this year.
 
The meet we will be going to is the Sheffield July 2015 Summer Meet (Level 3) held at Ponds Forge on the 25th & 26th July.

Another fantastic meet, one of the best to date.  Great Effort!!! 

Most of you are starting to get the idea of how to pace on the 200's now.  For some of you it looks like your race plan is coming together as we get close to the end of the season.  Over the next few weeks up to the North Eastern's keep training insane or your times will remain the same! 

A special well done to those swimmers that were successful in achieving North Eastern times for June and Yorkshire times for October.  

Some of you who were close to NER times may need to use the course converter below to see if your times from the weekend are under the qualifying standards when converted from short to long.
