Hi swimmers,
If you are on the team to swim this Sunday please note:-
9/10 and 11/12 year olds please arrive in plenty of time to be poolside ready for the warm-up at 2:00pm and the 13/14 year olds need to be poolside ready for a warm-up at 5:00pm.
There is bound to be a shortage of parking too so be prepared/leave time to park elsewhere and walk back!
REMEMBER this is a relay only event so anyone who doesn't turn up will be letting down the rest of their team. If on the day you really cannot get there please let me know ASAP so I can try to stop the rest of your team from travelling. Fiona Wood 01892 513758 or 07792463212
