Opportunities for every swimmer to challenge themselves, represent Formby Swimming Club and achieve official Swim England times.
Development
Learning, building confidence, gaining official times and getting used to race conditions without high pressure. Great for first-timers and less experienced competitors.
Competitive
For swimmers aiming for qualifying times, pushing for personal bests and racing against other swimmers across the North West.
County & Regional · Invite only
Reserved for swimmers who have achieved, or are swimming to achieve, a required time to swim at County or Regional level.
For galas spanning more than one day over a weekend, we will aim to attend at least one day, and will decide once the programme of events is available.

Formby’s attendance at galas is subject to acceptance and entry requirements specific to each gala (e.g. minimum / maximum entry times). Some galas don’t have confirmed dates yet – we’ve given an indication based on last year’s dates, and these will be updated once confirmed. The gala plan may change during the season; any changes will be communicated with as much notice as possible.
