Open gala entries

Below is a list of the galas, we recommend swimmers from squads A1 to D2 to consider entering. Level A for all swimmers, Level E and S for experienced and strong swimmers (needing qualifying times to enter).  If you're not sure what gala to enter, ask one of the Gala Coordinators or a swimming coach, and see the Open Gala page for general information.  

Competitions listed in BOLD are run by us, these are perfect for getting qualifying times for other competitions like the DASA County Champs.  We also encourage swimmers to enter the DASA long course event in December and, if you have the licensed qualifying times, to enter the DASA County Championships in February.  The County Championship qualifying times have to be met at licensed meets (within the previous 12 months), so the list below will help you to plan ahead. Check the qualifying times for Regionals here and Derbyshires here.
