The BCM Autumn gala will take place over the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of October 2026 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 4th October 2026. Whatever age the swimmer is at Midnight on the 4th October 2026 is the age they will race as.
Below you will find attachments including the terms and conditions, the order of events for this gala and the upper time limits. Please read all of these VERY CAREFULLY.
Please note it will be the decision of the coaches if the club enter relay teams. If relay teams are entered swimmers will be invited to take part in these to represent the club.
When entering this gala please make sure to enter a time for each event. ENTRIES WITH NO TIMES WILL NOT BE SENT TO THE ORGANISER. 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 upper time limits please beware that swimmers can not have swam faster than the stated upper time limit to enter that race.
