Having received fantastic support for the clubs Xmas County Qualifier gala on the 20th December, we are unfortunately going to have to implement our conditions and reject some entries.

We have received nearly 1,400 entries which would normally mean a very full two day meet.

With the key criteria being an opportunity to qualify for County championships, we will be assessing swimmers based on the Kent county qualifying times, with those furthest away being considered for rejection.

To enable swimmers the opportunity to enter Icebreaker, we will be publishing the acceptances and rejections tomorrow.

Thank you for your co-operation and understanding
