The Club Championships are run every year and have done since the club began, with extra races being added over the years.
The main Championships are run over three nights in November (Saturday 7th, Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th), they cover all the strokes and give the swimmers a chance to swim races of different lengths for each stroke (9 and under swim 25m and 50m and 10 and over 50m and 100m, plus the 100m and 200m Individual Medley for all swimmers). A swimmer therefore has the chance to swim 10 races.
