KENT RELAYS - URGENT TEAM LOCATION INFORMATION
We need to split clubs between poolside and the sports hall to comply with the leisure centre’s restrictions on maximum numbers poolside.
- Dover
- Herne Bay
- Maidstone
- RTW Monson
- Saxon Crown
- Sevenoaks
- Thanet
All other clubs will be poolside as per the attached plan. Dover Pool Layout - Kent Relays 2025.pdf
If your club is located in the sports hall please ask swimmers to bring a chair if they have one and some additional layers as it can be slightly cooler in the hall than poolside.
Swimmers will be marshalled for events initially in studio 3 (adjacent to squash courts, under the stairs that lead up to the spectator gallery) and then will make their way poolside. They will need footwear and t-shirts in marshalling and it is also requested that swimmers dry off as best as they can before leaving poolside to return to the sports hall or marshalling area.
We will need the co-corporation of clubs to listen for announcements and ensure swimmers report to the vicinity of studio 3 in good time for their races whilst trying to avoid overcrowding within the studio.
