Swim League 2025

The results from Round 1 held at Darwen on Sunday 19th January are now available under the Events Tab, together with the AOE times for each event.

Please note that the points for Division 2 differ from those announced at the event, owing to illegal swims which came to light following a check of the team sheets.

Coaches/Managers are reminded that under Rule 5.10 (and unlike Micro League) Swimmers are only permitted to compete in two individual events in their own age group or above.

Please also note that if you swam up a swimmer from your B Team to your A team in the first round that swimmer is not permitted to compete again for your B Team this season.

Round 2 will be held at Blackpool Palatine on Saturday May 17th – the Lane draws and team duties are under the Events Tab.  Division 1 will swim in the first Gala Division 2 the second.

The Provisional dates for 2026 have been agreed by the Executive as:

Round 1 Sunday 18th January 2026

Round 2 Saturday 16th May 2026

Round 3 Saturday 14th June 2026

2024 Champs Saturday 5th October

Dear Colleagues
 
The warm up schedule and the memo for Saturday 5th October can be found under the events Tab.
 
Can you ensure that these are distributed to your personnel and that parents, swimmers know the procedures
with regard to time of arrival, warm up times etc.
 
A couple of things to note (again everyone needs to aware of):
 
  • Photography – no mobile phones in changing rooms (including toilets) – a few swimmers were warned last weekend.
    Absolutely NO photography in the changing room area.
  • Warm up etiquette – coaches and team managers please make sure your swimmers follow correct lane etiquette when
    warming up. There was an incident last weekend which caused a swimmer having to withdraw from the events. It was caused by a swimmer doing full fly stroke down the middle of the lane when passing another swimmer. 
  • Strictly poolside personnel allowed in the changing room, poolside. No parents etc. If team personnel can help to monitor this it would be a big help. This is a safeguarding issue for everyone.
  • Club Roles – check roles
Many thanks
Janice
