Entries for our Swimming Gala for swimmers of all ages with physical, vision, hearing and learning disabilities are now open!
The event will take place at Fraserburgh Community & Sports Centre with swimmers arriving from 11:30am for a 12pm start. The gala will finish at approximately 3.30pm dependent on the size of entries.
Entries are accepted for all strokes but note that swimmers will only be allowed to enter 4 events. Swimmers who record a time of less than 42.00 for 50m freestyle must enter 100m event. Please submit accurate times which will allow for a fair competition for all those taking part.
Please complete the time card for each swimmer (lane and event numbers will be added once the programme is complete). As this event also acts as a qualifier for the Scottish National Senior Championships it is important that you put the full date of birth of each swimmer on the entry form.
The SDS Championships for swimmers with a physical disability and sensory disability will be held at Grangemouth in April 2023.
The SDS Senior Championships for swimmers with a learning disability will be held in May 2023 (venue TBC)
Swimmers who qualify for these events will be notified via their club, or as individuals after the Mary Duncan Gala.
Entry fees (£5 per swimmer) will be due once you have entered. We will provide bank details for this but please let us know if you need another payment method e.g. cheque.
There is plenty of parking at Fraserburgh Community & Sports Centre plus a pool hoist and accessible changing room available. The lockers in the changing rooms operate with a £1 coin.
Each team entering must provide at least one adult helper to help with timekeeping etc.
In the past it has been left to clubs/schools on the day to provide helpers so it would be appreciated if more than 1 named helper per club/ school could be notified with this application.
