Braunstone Open Meet - Sunday 3rd July
We are encouraging ALL of our swimmers who will be 9 years of age and over as at 3rd July 2016 to enter the following Open Meet.
Braunstone S C Sprint Open Meet - Level 3
When: Sunday 3rd July 2016
Where: Braunstone Leisure Centre, Leicester
Events: 50m Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly & Freestyle and 100m Freestyle & 100m Individual Medley
Open to: All swimmers who will be 9 years of age and above @ 3rd July 2016 and who do not have PB’s which are faster than the Upper Qualifying Times.
Entry Fee: £5 per event/race
Full details of this Meet, including the entry form can be found here – http://www.braunstoneswimmingclub.org.uk/openmeet.html
Please note that the qualifying entry times are NO FASTER THAN e.g. a 10 year old boy wishing to compete in the 50m Freestyle event could not enter if his PB was faster than 32.00 seconds, so if he had a PB of say 36.50 seconds he could enter this event if he wished to do so.
As the NO FASTER THAN entry times have been set at the quicker end of the scale, almost all of our swimmers will be eligible to enter this Open Meet.
If your swimmer does not have a PB for an event or has a very old PB for an event, which they would like to enter, then the Club will look at estimating what your swimmer’s current PB for that event might be. If the Club’s estimated PB is slower than the NO FASTER THAN qualifying time for that event then your swimmer may enter that event. All estimated PB’s must be approved by Ian Meadowcroft. If you would like the Club to estimate a PB for an event or events then please could you let me know.
Please note that your swimmer does not have to enter all events.
Entries
Members, you can submit your entries to Braunstone S C in one of two ways. Entries can either be submitted:
- Electronically by Coalville SC or
- on paper, by posting the entry form directly to Braunstone SC yourself. Coalville SC will not be submitting any paper entries.
Entries for this Open Meet are being accepted on a First Come First Served basis. This is a popular Meet and it is anticipated that it will fill up extremely quickly and entries will close much earlier than the published closing date of 10th June 2016. It is therefore important that your swimmers entry is submitted to Braunstone SC as early as possible.
Electronic Entries – by Coalville SC
If you would like the Club to submit your/your swimmer’s entries electronically for you then a completed entry form (which can be found on the Braunstone S C website) together with a cheque made payable to “Coalville Swimming Club” for the entry fee(s) due, at £5 per event/race, need to be handed in a named sealed envelope to either myself, Jackie Harrison, Emma Wilson or Karen Lund, no later than Friday 6th May 2016. Please could you keep this cheque payment separate from any other payment you are making to the Club. Thank you.
The advantage of allowing the Club to submit your entries electronically for you is that you know that the entries will arrive with Braunstone S C and not get lost in the post with your cheque.
Postal Entries – by you
If you wish to send your swimmers entries yourself by post to Braunstone S C then we would recommend that this is done as early as possible.
The entry form together with details of where to post your form and payment to, are available on Braunstone SC’s website. Your cheque will need to be made payable to “Braunstone Swimming Club”
If you enter by post then please could you let me know so that I can keep an eye out for your swimmer amongst the list of accepted entries when published. Thank you.
If you need any advice regarding which event(s) you/your swimmer should enter then please speak to your/your swimmers coach.
The Club’s poolside coaching team will be confirmed once accepted entries have been confirmed by Braunstone S C. If your swimmer enters this Open Meet and you hold a valid DBS/CRB certificate with Coalville SC, then you may be asked if you could help manage the team poolside. If you would like to get involved/help manage our swimmers poolside, even if it is just for the morning or afternoon session, and you do not hold a valid DBS/CRB certificate with Coalville SC then please let me know as soon as possible so that we can organise a DBS check for you. Thank you.
