Blog : 2704 County Qualifiers
So far we have 26 Female qualifiers and 34 male qualifiers in a total of 688 swims between them. On the Face book page there is a spreadsheet I have done that breaks each event down by, sex and lists the qualifiers for that event (the list excludes long course and masters results). If your name is not down then you have not swum the event short course in a licensed meet within the last 12 months in a qualifying time. The time trials are a chance for those swimmers not yet qualified to achieve the required standard in a licensed event. Please enter the Time trials asap if you have not qualified for Counties.

Blog 2685:Time Trials
The club are organising level 4 time trials for C and B squads on Saturday mornings in December and January (dates will be announced once bookings have been confirmed as will the programme and entry form). As County championships will not accept any times other than those on the rankings database this year, as time has had to be found in the competition for finals, it is vital that these time trials are entered to ensure you qualify. All of C squad and all of B squad should be entering all the events under the coaches guidance. The events will be 50's, 100's and 200's on each stroke along with the 200IM. If swimmers in A squad, youth and senior and the prestige programme do not have qualifying times in events they would like to swim at counties then they can also enter these time trials but only in the events they do not have qualifying times for already. As always we will require Volunteers to help run these events and there will be a small charge to cover the licensing fee to ensure the times go on the rankings system.
Blog 2684: Presentation Night
This is the last week (closing date 9th November) you will be able to purchase tickets for the presentation evening which will be held at Soldiers and Sailors in Long Eaton Saturday 21st November.
There are still tickets available, but we will not be able to sell any tickets on the night. All swimmers that took part in the club champs will receive an award.
Please bring your tickets as these will need to shown on the door.
