Join us at Leeds Dock for our new swim event – It’s a Knockout! This fun and thrilling day out gives you a chance to compete for the title of Leeds Dock Knockout Champs.
Swimmers must enter the event in teams of 2 and BOTH swimmers must be NOWCA members – but only one swimmer can book for the team. Each swimmer will take part in a series of events and will receive points for their finishing position – eg: 1st place = 10 points, 2nd place = 9 points, etc.
Swimmers will be set off in waves with a maximum of 10 swimmers in the water at any one time.
All swimmers will take part in rounds 1, 2 and 3 and then the knockout stages will begin. Teams with the least number of points after each round will be knocked out until only one team remains – who will be crowned the Leeds Dock Knockout Champs.
Once you have booked your place, you will receive an email confirmation of your entry. Please ensure you complete and submit the questionnaire with your team details by the specified deadline date, otherwise your entry may be cancelled.
