Withdrawals

The withdrawal process relies upon the swimmer’s cooperation and courtesy to fellow

competitors. Swimmers who fail to arrive for their heat create empty lanes, which, if they had been used by others, could reduce the length of sessions.

 

To ensure that the meet runs efficiently, it is essential that those not intending to compete notify the Promoter, Tracy Dale, up to and including Friday, 8th May 2026.

​

On the day withdrawals need to be made in person or by a swimmer’s representative to the timing suite 90 minutes before the commencement of the session (both individuals and relays).

​

Swim Down Facilities

There will be a 25-yard swim down pool available in the section next to the main pool from 3pm. The pools are connected by a short corridor.

 

Medals and prizes

Medals will be awarded to the top 3 swimmers in each age group in all individual events and the top 3 teams in relay events. The medals awarded will be engraved wooden medals.

 

These are provided by one of our sponsors CT Trophies.

 

Spot prizes will be awarded throughout the gala.

 

The top visiting team will be awarded a trophy. Points will be awarded as follows:

1st =6pts, 2nd = 5pts, 3rd = 4 pts, 4th =3pts, 5th = 2pts, 6th = 1pt.

Changing and Lockers

There are male and female changing rooms, with privacy cubicles within the changing rooms. There are lockers available in the changing rooms that require a £1 coin, which is returnable.

 

Food and drink

There are no refreshment facilities at the Leisure Centre, but we will be selling hot drinks along with homemade baked goods. There will be gluten-free and vegan options. Drinks will be discounted if you bring a reusable cup. There will be the option to pay by cash or card (minimum spend £ 1). 

 

Alternatively, there are local shops within a short walking distance, approximately 100m away, including a convenience store. Turn left out of the entrance of the Leisure Centre and walk up the slight incline. Turn left when you reach the junction, and you will find a small high street with shops and small eateries.

 

Pop-up shop

Last is Fast will have a pop-up shop on-site selling merchandise.

Head Coach Nathan Oxford will be on hand with performance testing tools, including a dynamometer (for assessing grip strength, rotator cuff health and general readiness) and a jump height measuring device to test your explosive power. These tests are free for all, and we encourage you to take advantage of them at a time of your choosing.
