Newark Swimming Club

Fixtures

We take part in a number of competitive leagues which are organised by Notts ASA.  The age groups for the leagues vary, and often give different swimmers a chance to compete. You’ll also find the age at dates differ for different leagues.  We also hold our own competitions.

Sports Centre League.  This is really two leagues, one in the first half of the year, the other in the second half of the year.  Age groups range from 9 to Open.

Spring Competition.  This competition is a series of three galas.  The age groups are 9, 10, 12, 14, Open (age on the day of the last gala).

Minor Gala League.  This is really two leagues, one in the spring and one in the Autumn.

Notts and District League.  This is a series of three galas held in the autumn. The age groups are 9, 11, 13, 15, Open (age on the day of the last gala).

Development League.  This is a series of two galas held in June and July. The age groups are 9, 10, 11, 12. These galas are for our novice swimmers or those that normally do not make the league teams.

Simeon Hansard Gala.  This is an annual inter club gala where we invite other teams to swim at The Grove.

Newark Swimming Club competitions.  In addition we also hold two internal club competitions each year, the Age Group championships in April and the Club championships in October.  All members are encouraged to enter these events.  As well as being good fun, they also give swimmers the chance to set ‘personal bests’ and to win medals and trophies.

Modern Biathlon and Modern Triathlon.  Many of our swimmers compete in these competitions arranged by the Modern Pentathlon Association of Great Britain.  These combine a run and swim, or run, swim and pistol shoot.  Regional qualifiers are held locally giving a chance to qualify for a National competition.
