Crusader League

2008 sees a return for the Dove Valley to the league, after a break of over 10 years.  The swimming ages are  10’s, 12’s 14’s and Open and the programme is very similar to that of the Speedo league.  There are 3 divisions in the league, we have joined in Division 3 which will consist of teams from Newcastle, Crewe, Whitchurch and  ourselves.  There are 4 rounds, one at each of all the teams pools.  Competition takes place between January and June each year.

The club is approaching this competition with the view that it wants to do well, but at the same time, does want to use it to give some other club swimmers gala competition.  It may therefore not be the strongest squad we can put out, but will not be too far off.  It is important that we do give opportunities to some different swimmers from time to time, and this is just the competition we need to do that in.

The Crusader League is attractive to us, as it provides swims for a complete different age category of swimmers to that of the Speedo league, so that in any one calendar year, every one of our age groups of swimmers has its own high level of competition.

If you would like see further information about this league, the dates for the competition, and the results too.
