Club Championships

BASC has had a very busy year for club competitions with three Club Championship events, 3 Time Trials and the 200m/400m Freestyle, 200m IM and 800m/1500m Freestyle competitions.

Over 100 swimmers entered the 3 main events, covering over 700 swims between them and they achieved 16 new club championships records as well as 47 Club records and over 1,000 personal bests – an amazing achievement by our swimmers. Many congratulations to our new record holders and to all our swimmers for their personal achievements at Club Championships. 

Our Time Trials events continue to be licensed so that the times achieved can be used for entries into County Championships. We also licensed Club Champs 3 this year so that the 50m Sprint times could be used.

We must also say a big ‘THANK YOU’ to everyone who has helped with the running of our Club competitions; they are a vital part of our swimmers’ preparation for representing BASC in external galas and we could not stage them without you! It’s been a challenge this year as we have lost some officials and we need them to run these events. Please offer to help – it won’t take much of your time and gives you a much better view than being in the audience.

Please keep an eye on the “splash screen” on our website for details as to when entries open and please do not wait until the last minute before entering – it makes it much harder to gauge the entry size and therefore work out the heats and timings.

Parents and swimmers are reminded that we are a competitive club and swimmers are expected to enter internal competitions. Swimmers are also expected to swim for the club if lucky enough to be picked for one of our gala squads. Please support your club in this.

 Thanks all of the officials, helpers, whips, teachers, parents, and of course swimmers, for helping make our “job” so easy and fun.
