Our Race Nights take place at St Peter’s School Pool, and are for all swimmers in our Light Green, Dark Green, Blue and Red hat groups, from all the pools/sessions.
The races are 25m events in the four different strokes: Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Butterfly (Not Light Greens). Red Hats also swim a 100m Individual Medley event.
Swimmers achieving the Swim England Speed Awards time targets for swimming a single length of the pool in the different strokes will be eligible for the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. Certificates and badges are available to purchase on request, once the results are available. Please see the time standards below.
Our Race Nights are not a test or assessment, but are an opportunity for swimmers to practice their skills in a ‘gala’ type environment. Please try to encourage your swimmer to attend these events, which take place in a fun and friendly atmosphere, and which form an important part of their teaching with YCBC.
