This weekend 30 Wigan swimmers held to Blackpool for the always fun Blackpool Lights gala.

Blackpool have now sent all the information across regarding the weekend including accepted entries, warmup times and an information sheet for parents/guardians to have a read of which gives details on admission charges, withdrawal from events procedure and more!

All of the information can be found below in the attached documents!!! PLEASE make sure you read all the information that is included as it will answer many questions you may have.

The gala is looking extremely busy and due to limited space on poolside, clubs with a large number of swimmers competing will be based in the sports hall for the weekend and we are one of those clubs.

Please make sure your swimmer has the following with them to make sure they are as comfortable and warm as possible whilst awaiting their swims:

  1. At least 2 towels to dry themselves
  2. Footwear is needed for walking around the building
  3. Warm clothing for in-between races (oodies, hoodies dry robe, fluffy PJ’s, Socks, bob hat (beanie) etc)
  4. Plenty snacks, food, dinner
  5. Lots of fluids to keep hydrated
  6. Camp chair or similar are generally allowed within the sports hall

As always we ask that swimmers wear club hats and t shirt whilst representing the club please!!!!!

If you have any questions please email meets@wiganswimmingclub.org.uk

Good Luck and have fun!!!
