Thanet County Qualifier – Gravesend and Northfleet Autumn Open

It has been necessary to cancel our Kent Qualifier Open on 24 November.
However, we are planning to use the Gravesend and Northfleet Autumn meet as a replacement on 1/2 December at Black Lion.
Full entry details will be out tonight from our Gala Secretary but this will be a fast turnaround (Midnight Thursday) as the entries will need to be in by the weekend.
Please note that the Qualifying Times are different to our Thanet Open and therefore swimmers previously excluded may be able to swim.
Head Coach is currently compiling a list of existing Kent QTs for swimmers as a guideline so please email David by Tuesday if you need advice.
Full details of this meet can be found here.

Thanet Open

It is with deep regret that we have to inform you that the Thanet County Qualifier Meet scheduled for the 24th November has had to be cancelled.

However, as a club we recognise that we still need to provide opportunities for club swimmers to achieve their County Times. As a consequence, we will be providing details of alternative arrangements.

National County Team Championships
