Gala Information
The available gala information differs greatly depending on the organisation running the event. Typically, there will be a Programme of Events describing the races being held and the session times for warm-up and for the start of competition swimming; a set of qualifying times (both Minimum times and "Not Faster Than" times); and Application forms. These can be found wrapped into a single file or published as individual documents in Swim Manager.
Preferred payment is by Internet banking using these details: Sort code: 30-93-93, Lloyds Bank account number: 01454794 and please use Gala and Swimmers Name as the reference
Alternatively, please make cheques payable to Didcot Barramundi Swim Club and leave in the tray at the Didcot Wave pool. Please write swimmers names and which gala it's for on the back of the cheque.

Swim England Licensed Meets & Events
Swim England has an events calendar listing all the licensed meets (galas) across the country. These include events that the club are not formally submitting swimmers at. Swimmers are still able to apply to enter these galas as individuals (assuming all the entry criteria are satisfied), but will not be representing the club. However the club will offer help and advice should anyone wish to participate in this way.
The South East Region also lists licensed meets in our area here:
