We would like to invite the young swimmers of Bradford to join us for the next in the series of Rising Stars Swimming Galas where they will be able to compete against other swimmers of their age for medals and the chance of a place in the training scheme for the elite swimmers of the area.
The Gala includes;
- . Medals and awards for the top 6 swimmers in each age group
- . An Introduction to Competitive Swimming for Swimmers who do not belong to a club will take place on the poolside including rules, starts, turns and other advice & info
- . Information on Competitive Swimming for Parents including info about swimming in Bradford, levels of competition, advice on equipment, costs etc. will be available.
- . Poolside 'Team Leaders' for swimmers not attached to a local club who will guide and advise them throughout the meet.
- . Assessment of swimmers by the Junior Development Coach
The minimum standard required is to have completed your Level 10 swimming Award or equivalent or to have been recommended for entry by your Swimming Club Coach. (If you are not sure if you have reached a suitable level, contact the Junior Development Coach, Sarah Fisher
You will have the option of using racing dives from blocks if you have had training in them, otherwise you will be able to start in the water or from the poolside.
.This gala is aimed at those just beginning in Competitive Swimming. In order to encourage as many swimmers as possible to enjoy success, those swimmers who have achieved a Yorkshire Championships Qualifying Time in the last 12 months will not be allowed to enter the stroke event in which they achieved it. (They can enter for any other strokes of course!)
