Thank you to all clubs and swimmers that have entered our Development Gala this year. We were heavily oversubscribed; so rather than rejecting slower swimmers across the board and leaving many swimmers with no swims remaining, we decided that it was better to remove the 100IM as it will not qualify swimmers for Regionals or Kents next year, it also gives swimmers more chance for good times in their other events. The cash prize award fund has been re-allocated to the 100m Freestyle event. Link to final accepted entries is below:

Good luck to Dan and the crew travelling out to Belgium on Thursday as part of the SE Region International team that will be racing in the Flanders Cup at the weekend.
