NO LATER PLEASE!If your swimmer is only racing in the afternoon then please be there between 12.30 and 12.45.
Should you wish to park your car whislt dropping your swimmer off Bolton have suggested the NCP car park on (Wellington St, Bolton BL3 5DX) and then walk across to the pool. Again this is only a suggestion.
