ALL RESULTS WILL BE SEPARATED INTO THE FOLLOWING AGE GROUPS with medals awarded to the top six finishers in both Novice and Squad in each age group (except 400m):-

8 years and under  2000 Born   1999 Born   1998 Born

Age are as at 31st Dec 2009.  Two age groups for 400m: 1997 born and later, 1996 born and earlier

Novice

This group comprises swimmers within the 2001 and under age group and those that do not swim within a Club squad training session (i.e. Sunday to Friday mornings, Wednesday evenings 7-8pm and Friday evenings 6-7pm).  Please mark your entry form NOVICE where this applies.

Skins

In this event the swimmers compete in a repeating one length freestyle race with one swimmer being eliminated in each round until there’s one winner.  Very exciting!

Entries

Please submit your entries on a standard Phoenix Gala Entry form.  Entry fees are £1.50 per event.  This charge covers the cost of trophies.  

 

Entry Deadline - All Entries to Sue Mullender (gala secretary) by Friday 12th June LATEST!

 

Spectators

All are welcome.  Bring along your family to watch the children swim and cheer them on!

 

 

The background

Every year we hold an internal club championships for members of Phoenix Swimming Club.  These are held over two days and this year they will be on the evenings of Friday 3rd and 10th July starting at 5pm both days and finishing by 8pm.  For obvious reasons there will be no lessons on these two dates and there are separate awards made for squad and novice swimmers - so therefore absolutely everyone should be planning to enter!  

Details of the individual events are available below.

Results - Session One & Two

Phew...all done for another year.  There were a total of 19 club championship records broken during this years competition which is a measure of the excellent work our swimmer shave been putting in over the last few months.  Thanks you to all who helped run this year’s championships and an especial thanks from me to our officials and marshalls who kept things moving swiftly onwards during session two.  It was a bit disappointing not to have a working PA system for session two and we hope that didn’t affect your enjoyment - luckily it didn’t seem to stop the vociferous support from the gallery!  We hope that all the competitors enjoyed their events and it was great to see a number of swimmers competing in their first gala.

 

As indicated in the programme we were unable to fit in the ‘Skins’ event this year so anyone who entered this event can collect their refund from Sue Mullender (our gala secretary) at the club desk on Friday evenings.  

 

The results from the two sessions are listed below.

 

There was a tie on points for both club champion awards (boys and girls) but after deploying the services of our finest rules specialist we finally identified the worthy winners.  Congratulations therefore to Harvey Brown and Kate Pearse our 2009 Club Champions!   Commiserations, but also congratulations to Michael Grace who after drawing on both points and number of records broken, missed out on the Boys Champion by a whisker.
