COUNTY DELVELOPMENT CHAMPIONSHIP

This year’s County Development Championship is at Ipswich

It is going to be a very crowed meet. For some of you this will be your first county Gala. For others one of many. To help you have a relaxed and enjoyable time

Here are some things we would like you to do.

Do arrive about 30 mins before the start of the warm up session.

It would be a good idea to come in you kit, as the changing room will be very crowed.

We need to tick you off and make sure your entry for that session is correct. Have a team dry side warm up and work out which lanes you will warm up in.

Do wear you club top and a pair of dark shorts., also if you wear a hat it must be a club one that includes in the warm up

It makes you part of Stowmarket Swim Team. Also, it helps the coaches spot you on pool side, and when you swim.

Do wear something on your feet when walking around pool side.

To prevent you hurting your feet

Do talk to one of the coaching team if you want to go off.

We need to know where you are, In the past we have had swimmers miss their race because we did not know where they had gone

Do pack everything in a bag.

If you are not using it packet. Take a small bag which you can keep your hat and goggles in. I do not advise that you bring tablets and phones with you. These can become lost or broken. Which is the last thing you need to worry about

Do make sure to drink plenty of water, and have some food to snack on.

Before and after you race.

It could be a long time before you swim so you need keep hydrated. Also, get up every now and then and loosing up, this will keep you alert and ready for you race

One last thing, Only swimmers and those with a coach’s pass will be allowed to sit with the swimmers

See you there, good luck
