A promising start to the Long Course Yorkshire Championships

Email Print PDF

The first weekend of the 2012 Long Course Yorkshire Championships took place in Leeds on the weekend of the 18th and 19th of February with swimmers from J02, J01, AGN, Junior Development and Senior Elite competing. It was going to be tough to match the performance of last year as most of the Senior Elite squad had not entered this year as they are focusing on the Olympic Trial and a significant number of other swimmers had just returned from a hard training camp. Nonetheless, this year there were more medallists and finalists than last, which is a fantastic performance.

We have published a new article that gives comprehensive advice to swimmer's parents and covers all aspects of the experience of being a competitive swimmer at the club.  It has lots of valuable information, including how to enter meets and the kit that COSSS members are expected to have - it's well worth a read!  You can find it in Resources/Articles/Parents or just click here to access the Parents' Articles page.
