Club Championships whilst hosted at the end of the calendar year are actually the setting the scene for the beginning of the competitive swimming season for swimmers at Bletchley and District Swim Club.  For many of our swimmers that participate in this competition, the club championships prepares them for the start of the competitive season.  For the younger and less experienced competitive swimmers it’s a great opportunity for practicing skills, strokes, techniques, dives, starts, finishes and many other racing skills that they would not have had the opportunity to do if Bletchley did not host their very own Club Championship event.
