New rules re age group categories: Swimmers who are aged 9 - 12 on or before 24th JUNE 2012 are eligibile to swim in the Northumberland and Durham district rounds/ final. This is the date of the N&D area final. Therefore some swimmers may be competing in the same age group as 2011.

No other news to report as yet. I am meeting with coaches in the next few weeks to plan the season ahead. I will update all swimmers and parents when I get more information.
