MTC v Trafford Swim Gala - 2013
- Date : 2013 TBD ......
- Time : 6-9pm
- Volunteers please arrive by 5.30pm.
- Where : Sale Leisure Centre
The aims of the Gala are threefold, to have some fun racing in a pool, for members to get an experience of Gala's in a friendly environment, and with the changes to the records section in mind to get some baseline records in place for swim events.
I can't stress enough, this event is open to everyone, so please don't feel that you may not be good enough.
Finalised Events and Heats
HEATS LIST
The Provisional list of events is listed on the entry form, we are concentrating on short races 25-100m across all four strokes. There will also be some relays.
Whilst club records and races will subsequently be divided into appropriate age Categories, Seniors will likely race against people of a similar ability. For the purposes of the Gala, anyone 16 and under on race day, is elligible to race in junior events, over 16's to race in Seniors events. If you have any particular issue with this, or a query, contact me and we consider what is best for those involved.
The gala will be held under full ASA competition rules, whilst this may seem a but scary for some, the aim is to allow you to experience a Gala with plenty of friendly faces around, in a realistic environment.
Entries
In order to be able to enter however you need to complete the attached entry form and get it to Tony Jolly with a cheque covering your race fee.Closing date for entries is Februrary 1st 2012.
For those people who are members of both clubs, you are free to decide which club to enter for. However please consider especially with the juniors that MTC are likely to have far fewer entrants than TMBSC. If you are a member of MTC but race for TMBSC on the night you are still eligible for MTC records.
Training
The MTC swim coaching team are planning on including all the necessary skills acquisition in Swim sessions during March in preparation for the event.
It is also hoped we may put on a video Questions and Answers session concerning race rules.
