Christmas No Frills Meet: entries open

Posted on:

Entries now open: BSSC Christmas No Frills Meet.

For our younger squads and newer swimmers, this Meet is a great opportunity to get some times recorded on Swim England rankings which will enable you to enter more meets in future. If you need any advice on what to enter, please speak to your coach.

It’s also the perfect opportunity to get those last-minute qualification times for County Champs. If you already have a qualification time in an event for County Champs, we ask that you don’t enter it at No Frills (if in any doubt have a look on Swim Manager under the ‘Qualifying’ tab and green indicates a qualification time).

Please remember that there will be a quick turnaround on events so consider the schedule when selecting which ones to enter.

Final entries will be approved by Head coach.

Rookies B mini fun meet

Posted on:

We will be holding a mini fun gala for Rookies B swimmers on Tuesday 10th December, during the swimmers’ usual training session. The event is designed to give swimmers their first taste of competitive racing at the Club, but in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.

More details to follow over the coming weeks from the Coaching team.

In the meantime, we’re looking for parents who would like to help out with timing the swimmers, recording their times and making sure the kids are in the right place, at the right time and ready for their races!

If you are interested in helping out, please message the Club Secretary.

BSSC Guide to Competitions

Posted on:

As our club continues to grow, we will naturally have a number of our swimmers attending competitions for the first time.  Even those who have been with the club for 2-3 years will not have experienced many events, so we have created a guide that aims to answer those common questions of what should we bring, where are we going, what do we do when we get there etc etc! It applies to events held for just our club at our home pool and those run by clubs further afield. 

We hope you find it useful.  Even if you’re an old hand at this, please have a glance through it and let us know if anything is missing or can be improved.
