This is a major event in the swimming calendar and all swimmers who have achieved qualifying times are encouraged to enter. The qualifying standard is very similar to 2009 and much tougher than in previous years.

Completed entry forms and cheques (payable to Flitwick Dolphins S.C.) to Becky Gilbertson by Wednesday 13 January 2010 (disregard instructions to the contrary in the Entry Pack). An extended entry deadline of Sunday 24 January 2010 is available to swimmers at the Biggleswade Open only — these entries must be handed to Becky on poolside during the gala.

The Beds ASA Entry Pack (PDF) contains individual entry forms, qualifying times, a full schedule and an overview of the BAGCAT points system.  Predict your best event with a BAGCAT Points Calculator. The session plan has changed this year so please check the schedule carefully.

Swimmers are expected to compete at the Linslade Open or Biggleswade Open to attain qualifying times.

Beds ASA have asked for registered officials to volunteer for duty for all sessions (timekeepers and above). Thank you to everyone who steps forward — please contact Beds ASA before 1 February. Please assume that you are required unless you hear to the contrary.

Please check the FDSC Draft Entry Listing and Full Draft Entry Listing. Several relay teams have also been entered — your coach should advise you directly if you have been selected but please check if in doubt.
