TADPOLE GALA / TIMETRIALS
These are ran twice a year and all swimmers age 9/under compete in the tadpole gala. All swimmers age 10+ in both tadpoles and development are expected to attend for them to register up to date times.
TEAM GALA’s
We attend various team gala events throughout the year. The Ridings is where we send our fastest swimmers as this is the SADSA league. We also have friendly’s where our swimmers that do not get selected for the ridings have the opportunity to swim in a team environment. As a club we are known for our TEAM SPIRIT and will usually be the last team cheering on team mates in the final event. We therefore ask that all swimmers stay poolside til the end of these galas.
Team sheets are emailed out and put on the noticeboard. If your swimmers is selected can you please make every effort for them to attend. We have a bus that swimmers can be chaperoned on to make this easier for you!
