Advice from Head Coach Brendan re Entries:
Swimmers should enter all three categories where possible and look to build on the progress from last season.
i.e. if you concentrated on 50m races last year now is a good time to move to 100m.
Eligibility: Athletes aged 13 and 14 years may only enter a Future Challenger Series Meet if they have not previously competed at the Aspiring Champions level or above and they cannot compete at the Aspiring Champions Series in the same cycle as the Future Challenger i.e., the short course or long course season.
Entry fees (7€ per event) must be paid through the TEAMAPP STORE by 7pm Sunday 28th September
