National Junior Swimming League (m11)

Following the unfortunate cancellation of round two, it was fantastic to end the season on a high with a wonderful finale, hosted once again by Hackney Anaconda – our huge thanks to them, and to all coaches, swimmers and volunteers who took part.

In the end, Hackney Anaconda triumphed over Kingston Royals who came a worthy second by only a few points – so it was very exciting right to the last race.  Our congratulations to the winners who as usual will be offered a place at the National Final in Corby.

The final points and race details can be found on the results pages

Thank you

With many thanks to our hosts, Hackney Anaconda and to Sapphire pool staff, and indeed to all participating clubs for a very successful round one…

Results are in – on our results page

attendance was good and covered the cost of the hire.  Behaviour of swimmers was superb. I would particularly like to thank you all for coping with the limited space on deck.

Huge thanks for all clubs who contributed to hosting the finals this weekend: Monson, Hackney, Kingston, Halstead & Enfield.  Both galas ran smoothly.

Results were close.  I have needed to adjust the Sapphire result to reflect points for 5 teams (not 8); but this has not changed the outcome.

Congratulations to Chelsea & Westminster on winning the League.  They shall be put forward to the National Final.

Please find the overall finish positions and the results files now on our results pages

Results are up from round two – and it was very hard fought between Kingston and Greenwich equal on points.  I shall have to carefully check the sheets when they arrive; but this will not change the draw for round three which is as follows:

Please note that the finals are seeded.  Clubs shall swim in the lanes drawn above.

With much thanks to our hosts and support clubs, round one has been successfully completed.  I have verified the results files and posted them on the website, after adjusting the points for the different number of clubs in each gala.  Here is the draw (and the hosts) for Round Two:

Hosts, please appoint your promoter and referees asap and let me know.  A warning… this date clashes with East Region champs, so Essex referees are not available, which is why our hosts are from London Region.

Thank you and Good Luck!

Good luck to all clubs competing in round one this weekend!

Please arrive in time for a 3pm warm-up
