Dont put a limit on anything. The more you dream the further you get. Michael Phelps.
On the 12th October the 2019 Autumn league got underway once again with two teams – one away at Hinckley and the other at Braunstone. The format of this league is similar to all Leicester Leagues in that the 25-30 clubs are split into a random open draw at round 1 with limited seeding– then you are seeded for round 2 to try and keep apart the top seeds from round 1 – with points earned from the first two round determining what level final you arrive in come December.
Last year the A team had made the major final for the third consecutive year, coming a record high 4th on the night at Corby. The B team on its debut came 3rd in the 3rd tier final , taking 17th in a league of 30 teams..
There are 4 age groupings all at age at the 31/12/19 – being age 10, 12, 14 and over 14 (open). With all Leicester League formats the rules are simple – you cannot swim in round 3 if you have not swam in an earlier round. Races for age 10 are 25m, age 12 are 50m and the older age groups are mainly 100m.
The A team swam against the top club in Rushden A, plus a highly competitive Neptune A, then Rugby, Hinckley B, Coalville B and Sharks C.
The B team swam against Kettering A, Swadlincote, Oadby B, Braunstone C, Neptune C and Wellingborough B.
