Notts ASA Time Trials

The information for the Notts ASA Time Trials have been released below. It was quite late in the week when this became available so sorry for the short notice:

Please let me know by phone (07841 707 891) or email if there any questions on warm up etc.

An excellent idea was suggested to me regards warm up for those of you not swimming until later in the morning (e.g. just the 200M IM). If you don’t want to head down to the pool, warm up and then wait three hours, the usage of three lanes at Bramcote are available 8 – 9am – un coached. Swimmers could then head to the pool later in the morning rather than sit around on poolside. Another alternative would be to go to a public session at another swimming pool sometime during the morning before heading down. The key element is that a swimmer gets a warm up.

My advice would be regardless of when swims are, to be at the pool at least 30 minutes early. This is partly because parking at Beechdale is terrible and you may end up down one of the side streets around the leisure centre.

Finally, thank you to all the entrants we have had for this competition. Numbers are roughly equal with last year and I wish every swimmer the best of luck in whatever they are swimming.

Thanks and regards,
