COUNTY
The County Championships are held at Crystal Palace
and the other events at Guildford and Aldershot during February and March each year. Ages
given below are the swimmer's age as on the last day of the
competition.
The Championships are in the following age groups: 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and over. This year there is also a Development Gala, for
those swimmers not fast enough for the County Championships.
The entry times are
posted on both notice boards as soon as they become available (usually the end
of October), entries have to be submitted to the Open Meet Secretary before Christmas.
REGIONAL COMPETITIONS
The London Swimming ASA
hold its summer championships in May/June and its winter Championships at
the end of November each year.. The format of
the Championships is broadly in line with the County Championships and brings
together swimmers of a higher calibre. Only swimmers that have achieved
the qualifying times can compete in these championships. The times are
advertised on both notice boards.
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
This is the ultimate goal for
KRSC swimmers. The qualifying times are very tough and only the
elite swimmers of England compete in these Championships. Qualifying times
can only be obtained at Licensed Meets - any of the above events or the very
popular Open Meets (Section 6.5). The Championships are held over a week
at Ponds Forge, Sheffield each year at the end of July, beginning of
August.
