DRAFT ACCEPTED ENTRIES FOR SUMMER LONG COURSE MEET

We are pleased that we have now processed all of the entries to our Open Meet and are able to publish our draft accepted entries. Unfortunately, in order to maintain a balanced programme,  we have had to reject some boys from 400m freestyle. This was done strictly in order of when we received the entry files.

We also were over-subscribed in the long distance freestyle events and are therefore publishing waiting lists for these. Further information can be found here

TEAM LUTON SUMMER LONG COURSE FULL

Update 15/3/22. Many thanks to all swimmers who have entered this meet. Unfortunately we are completely FULL and are unable to accept any further entries.  We have processed the entry files in strict order of receipt and will be running a waiting list for the long distance events for 800m/1500m events and, in order to run a balanced programme we are also going to have to reject some male swimmers from 400m free. We hope to have sorted all of this out by next weekend – thank you for your patience.
