Worksop Dolphins Open Meet - 5th September 2015

18/5/2015

The 31st Dukeries Open Meet
Ponds Forge Sheffield
Saturday 5th September 2015

Entries for the above gala are now being accepted. Age is as on 5th Sept 2015

This is an excellent opportunity to race in the 10 lane 50m Ponds Forge pool at Sheffield.
This pool has been home to the British National Age Group / Youth finals for many years.

Another bonus is that there are no lower qualifying times making the gala easy to enter for our swimmers. It’s quite rare to be able to enter a gala in a 50m pool that hasn’t got lower qualifying times.

Please Note:

This gala clashes with the Micro league Division A/B swim off that Marlins are almost definitely going to be involved in. If your swimmer has swum in the Micro league team this year, then you must speak with Head Coach Mary before submitting a race entry.

Closing Date is Sunday 21st June.

The journey to / from Sheffield can be done in a day but many people choose to stay over on the Friday night before the gala. The Premier inn on Angel street is within walking distance of the pool and is popular with swimmers / their families.
