If you are an Ashhurst Aquatic Centre swimmer who can swim 25m in any stroke, then Race Nights might be for you.

(even if you can't swim 25m yet, you might want to come and have a look)

Ashhurst Aquatic Centre will be holding our first Race Night on Tuesday 29th April, in the evening after regular lessons. Race nights are a wonderful opportunity for new and existing swimmers to test their newly learned skills.

The environment strives to be supportive, fun and friendly with a hint of competition. It is also an opportunity for parents to learn some timekeeping skills and to see how their children are progressing.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Competitive races will be held in the 4 strokes. The list of events will be available at reception or published on the website for download. Choose the races you wish to enter - and hand in your registration to reception 5 days before the event. We will compile the events and post the draw on the website 2 days before the event. No late entries will be accepted, so get your registration in asap!!

There are 25m, 50m, 100m, and relay races that you can enter. All races are timed so this is a good place to challenge your times and test your performance against other swimmers in a friendly, fun atmosphere. Timings are recorded for future seedings.

NOTE

All swimmers must be able to swim 25 metres without stopping. (in the 4 main strokes).
When a swimmer has competed in a 50 metre race 3 times, in a particular stroke, they are unable to swim in any beginners race of 25 metres in that stroke. (In other words if you can do the 50 metre race 3 times - you are too good for the beginners 25 metre race).
Timekeepers for the swimmers nights would be appreciated. This can be shared by parents and competitive swimmers.
We just ask that everyone assists in tidying the pool after swimmers nights and the parents and senior swimmers are asked to assist the junior swimmers when ever possible.
