KCASA Swimming Championships - CP
9th - 10th February 2019
On to the final
individual weekend at Crystal Palace, its form strokes again this
weekend. Please forward this to your coaches, swimmers and parents.
The first point as with last weekend is If a swimmer has qualified, please
stress the importance of competing, lots of other swimmers have been
disappointed, please
don't waste the space. We had fewer withdrawals than
last year, so thank you.
Medal Presentations
The medal presentations went down very well again last weekend. Its
HDW for 200's and finals for 100's this weekend, please ensure you attend
the presentations at the end of each session if you are 1,2 or 3. It's a great
achievement to make the final, never mind the podium. Swimmers train harder
than most other sports, and rarely have podium opportunities, so make sure
you enjoy the fruits of your efforts.
Coach Refreshments
This year, coaches with poolside passes will be able to join the officials for
food at the break down in the green room, down the stairs opposite the gym.
Warm-Down
Warm-down is available in all sessions.
Withdrawals
In the unfortunate event that withdrawal is necessary (remember there are many
swimmers that could have taken the space in most events), You must withdraw before the warmup
starts . Please withdraw at the medal table.
Crystal Pace Event
Crystal Palace are holding an open event on Saturday from 11 am, showcasing
future plans for the venue. So we expect a few more visitors. We have contacted
the management team, and they have confirmed the Top- Car Park (yellow gate
with a height limiter)will be open all weekend, so would suggest attendees use
that unless you have a high vehicle. All parking in the park is free
Traffic
Most of the area in the last few miles around Crystal Palace seems to be 20mph
speed restrictions,, so please allow enough time. If you are unfamiliar with
Crystal Palace , here is a link to the map You should enter
from the western side of the park via Anerley Hill.
Coach Passes
Many coach passes have been issued, the remainder will be at the entrance desk
Warm- UP Times

For those of you that haven't been to Crystal Palace, it's a bit colder
poolside than most pools, so ensure you have suitable warm clothing for
