Club Championship Rules 2012 The dates for Club Champs 2012 are as follows:

7th March
20th June
19th September
12th December

Warm up 18.00 hrs for 18.30 start. There are no training sessions on these dates.

Entries for our first club champs of this year (7th March) can be made with Linda in the cafe from 8th February onwards.

The committee and coaches have decided to change the criteria for the overall trophies for this year's club champs.

Everyone who swims in a race will receive 1 point, in addition the 1st placed swimmer will receive 6 points, going down to 1 point for 6th place. The winner will therefore receive 7 points. At the end of the year trophies will be awarded for the overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed boy or girl in each age group based on points. These trophies will be presented at the annual club presentation evening.

Trophies will no longer be given at the awards evening for induvidual wins as we feel these swimmers will have already been rewarded with a medal at the time of the race.

We hope this change will encourage more swimmers to "have a go" in all events as 1 point could make all the difference to the leaderboard! It will also recognise the achievements of more swimmers.

There will of course still be trophies for overall senior and junior top boy and girl. If you have any queries please ask a member of the committee.
