Dorset ASA & ASA SW Region Open Water Championships 2016 – 25 June 2016 (new date)
Dorset ASA Championships are incorporated into the South West Region Open Water Championships which offer opportunities to qualify for ASA National Championships.
Distances: 5km, 3km, 1500m, and for 13yrs & U 750m taster event
It would be good to see a greater number of EDOWSC swimmers at the championships – show the SW what talent we have in our Club. Wetsuits will be allowed but such swimmers will not be eligible for medals. Wetsuits will allow those who are less sure of their abilities to get the flavour of the day and then consider going for medals next time.
The South West Region has decided to forego its portion of the “day membership” thereby reducing the cost for those who are Category 1 members of the ASA.
Please put the date in your diary and look out for details of how to enter in 2016.
