Bromley Junior Open Meet

    Good afternoon. We look forward to welcoming you to our Junior Gala this coming Sunday. I have attached the racing schedule below (note the 15-minute break after event 104). We hope to get this finished by 1700 as an indicative time. Please note the following and forward to your coaches/TMs and parents;

     

    • There is a Car Park at Beckenham Spa. You will need the ‘Ring go’ app to pay for parking.
    • COACHES/TMs - Warm-up is at 1200. Lane allocations are;

    Warm up one - 20 mins (12-12.20)

    All 8 & 9-year-olds

    • Bromley - Lanes 1-3
    • Leander - Lane 4
    • Wandsworth & London Fins - Lanes 5 & 6
    • Eaton Sq & Woodside - Lane 7
    • Saxon Crown - Lane 8

    • Saxon Crown - Lane 8

     With all lanes, 15 minutes swim, 5 minutes sprints for both warm-ups.

    • You already have your withdrawal link (for your designated person, as they can use this to withdraw on behalf of anyone, not for all). This will close at midday on Saturday. Please use this if you have any withdrawals. Otherwise, on the day, withdrawals via coaches/TMs only at the recorder desk, which will close at 1210
    • Your swimmers must be “race gala-ready” – refer to my previous email on this subject, as we want to reduce DQs, which cause delays too.
    • The 25m races will start in the pool at the shallow end
    • Please bring your own water bottles for drinks
    • Spectators entry is £5 per person. Under 16s are free
    • Spectators MUST NOT enter via the changing rooms; they need to enter upstairs via the mezzanine floor.
