The next series of Level X competitions have been launched. Round 1 will be held on Wednesday 9th June 2021, continuing for a further 2 weeks. With the last round being Thursday 24th.
The events will be held in training sessions and the first distances in Round 1 that are available to be swum will be:-
50m Freestyle 100m Breaststroke 200m Backstroke
Once these events have been swum, the club will then release details of the next phase of events and when these will be taking place during training sessions, and which squads will be taking part.
The club will upload the results to Swim England and the leader board will be published on the swimmingresults.org website. When you select the rankings tab, Level X is at the top of the section.
It has been decided that the Dolphins Squad will not be taking part in Level X but will instead have their own separate events in training sessions to enable the swimmers to have a chance to gain experience of swimming in races in a training session environment.
Unfortunately due to the amount of swimmers that will be on poolside, there will not be any spectators permitted during the races.
The club is allowed to have six timekeepers, one starter/referee and one judge officiating at each Level X session. If you are a timekeeper, please can you bring your own stopwatch if you have one. The club can supply a stopwatch if it is needed. If any of the club officials can help with these sessions, if you could contact Dianne Barrett at officials@thetforddolphins.club and please state which sessions you can help out at, that would be much appreciated.
