Reivers District Swimming Gala

Further details for the Swimming Gala on Saturday 11th October.

Please meet at Penrith Swimming Pool at 5.30pm. The Gala starts at 6.00pm prompt so it is important to be there on time. Please bring your swimming gear, a towel / t-shirt to wear on the poolside, a drink in a plastic bottle (it gets very hot) and £1 for your locker.

YOU MUST COME IN UNIFORM (I.E. POLO SHIRT AND ‘NECKER)

The Cubs are entering three teams in the Gala, each of which has a captain. The A Team is captained by Charlie McSkeane, the B Team by Drew Moore and the C Team by James Atkinson.

When you are by the poolside you must sit down when asked and keep away from the edge of the pool. Supporting your team is obligatory but bad sportsmanship will not be tolerated.

The Gala is run on a heats basis with the fastest five teams making it through to the finals. Therefore winning a heat may not be enough – so go for it in the fastest time you can manage.

The Gala is normally over by 8.00pm. Timings are tight so you must listen to the officials and be ready for your race.

Most importantly do your best, enjoy yourselves and have a laugh.

See you Saturday.
