Competing
Kendal ASC is a competitive swimming club and all members are encouraged to participate in competitions; whether that is in our own internal club events, team events or individual open events. See the club Calendar for all Gala dates.
Club Galas
Kendal ASC hold nine Club Galas throughout the year which offer the opportunity to compete in every event from 50m to 1500m. These competitions are level 4 meets which are licenced by Swim England, British Swimming’s governing body. All recorded times are logged on the British Swimming Rankings website. Club Galas 1 to 5 also include a 25m event for the under 10’s.
Swimmer’s Personal Best times (PB’s) can also be tracked on the Rankings website. These times are used to enter external Open Meets throughout the year.
For all club events the swimmers age will be their age on 31st December that year.
