Cardiff Open Meet
Cardiff Open Meet- Swimmers who do not achieve National QT's will use this as their last competition of the season.
- National qualifiers will use this as a preparation meet for Nationals. There is a 12 week gap between Swansea and Nationals which is far too long to go without some race practice, fine tuning and exposure to a high level competitive environment. This meet will give us the ideal springboard into Nationals.
- Swimmers are advised to enter a limited number of events, specifically those they will be competing in at Nationals.
- We will not be staying away as a team so please make your own plans for travel and accommodation.
