DASC NOVICE CLUB GALAS 2010

DASC will hold four Novice Club galas in the Back Tank on Tuesday Club Nights throughout  2010. The date of the next gala will be published in the Back Tank a few weeks beforehand.

Each gala will be open to any swimmers who are members of Development 1 or Development 2 squads at the time of the gala (and any other 8 & under swimmers from other squads - see below).

Swimmers will be invited to compete in 25 metre events on each stroke. You do not need to fill in any entry forms or pay any entry fees. Report to the desk by 5.15pm on the night.

Awards will be given to the top 3 girls and top 3 boys from each of D1 and D2 squads for each event at each gala.

The results will be published in the Back Tank.

Any swimmers who achieve a DASC Sprint Award time at these galas may buy a Sprint Award badge from the Club Desk on Tuesday evenings. Click on link below for times.

We can only run these galas with the help of people who volunteer to be involved as timekeepers, recorders, marshalls etc. The club would be very grateful if you would consider helping out.

If you have any questions, please ask your squad coach.

DASC 8 & Under Club Championships

Any club swimmers from any squad who are 8 years old or younger (as at 31 December in the current year) will also be invited to swim in the Novice Galas.

They will only receive Novice Gala awards if they are in D1 and D2 squads.

However their times will be recorded. At the end of the final novice gala the best time they have recorded for each event throughout the year will be noted. The swimmers will then be ranked in order. The top 3 girls and the top 3 boys who are 8 & under in each event will be awarded DASC medals (and where applicable the winners will receive club trophies) for the DASC 8 & Under Club Championships.

DASC Club Championship records for 8 & unders can be found on the Club Galas (Main) page with the rest of the club records.
