As we come to the end of the gala season and head towards the Summer break its time to turn our attention to the first gala that will take place after Summer!
This will be the Wigan and Tyldesley Starter Meet that will take place on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd September 2024 at the Wigan Life Centre.
To take part in this gala a swimmer has to be 9 years old or over at Midnight on Sunday 22nd September 2024. Whatever age the swimmer is at Midnight on the 22nd September 2024 is the age they will race as. The age groups for this gala are 9/10/11/12/13/14 and 15/over.
Please note for this gala swimmers must be 12 and over to enter the 400m IM and 400m Freestyle, however 9-11 year olds can enter all other events.
Below you will find attachments including the terms and conditions, the programme for this gala and the consideration times. Please read all of these VERY CAREFULLY.
When entering this gala please make sure to enter a time for each event. If the swimmer does not have an official time you can use time trial times or ask one of the coaches at training for a time. Please beware if this gala is over subscribed swimmers with estimated times or unofficial times will likely be rejected first.
Also when looking at the consideration times please beware that swimmers MUST NOT HAVE SWAM FASTER THAN THE UPPER QUALIFYING TIME to enter that race.
Entries for Wigan Swimming club members only for this gala are now open and will close at Midnight on Sunday 30th June 2024. The reason for this is that the gala is a first come first served gala and by having the entries complete I will be able to process them as soon as entries open.
*Please note that visiting clubs may have different closing dates to the one that is mentioned on this post. Please refer to information supplied by your club!*
