DASC CLUB GALAS 2010
DASC will hold four main club galas on Tuesday Club nights throughout the year in the main pool in the Dolphin Centre. The date of the next gala will be published on the noticeboard a few weeks beforehand.
Each gala will be open to all swimmers aged 9 and above in C squad and above at the time of the gala. In addition 8 & under swimmers in these squads may also take part in the 9 & 10 year event. Club squad, D3 squad and Disability squad will also be invited to participate.

See link below for the events in each gala.
All members of these squads will automatically be entered for their events in these galas and are encouraged to participate, to gain experience of racing and to record personal times. Those who do not wish to swim can withdraw.
Medals will be awarded for the first 3 swimmers in each event. Many of the events also have club trophies, which the winner may keep until the following year.
The age of swimmers is the age on 31st December of the current year.

Any swimmers who achieve DASC Sprint Award times can buy a Sprint Award badge from the Club Desk on Tuesday nights at the Dolphin Centre. See link below for times.
We can only run these galas with the help of many volunteers. The club would be very grateful if you would consider helping out.
