Scotstoun Leisure Centre
Warm up 7am, start 7.15am, finish 8.45am (approx).
The club will be running Time Trials from 7am until 8.45am at Scotstoun Leisure Centre.
This will provide a competitive opportunity for swimmers to get timed for the first time or to improve their times in order to gain entry to more competitions.
Due to limitations on lane space it is open to all swimmers in Junior Foundation, Junior Development 1 & 2 and Club Squads only, unless otherwise advised by your coach.
Swimmers in these squads from all COGST pools i.e. Scotstoun, Maryhill, Drumchapel, Springburn, Gorbals, Tollcross may come along.
We will be running a variety of events.
Your Coach will tell you which events you should swim, but to get the most benefit from Time Trials, please swim events which you do not have a current up to date time for. You can swim three events.
We will be running more Time Trials throughout the season when we will cover other strokes and distances.
All swimmers should bring a spare towel and T shirt to dry off and keep warm between swims.
To ensure all swimmers are able to be timed we will need some parents to help on poolside as timekeepers. You don’t need any experience so if you are able to help please send your details to: This email address is being protected from spambots.

It was an excellent day of racing for City of Glasgow members taking part in the Brodies Scottish Schools Championships at Tollcross on Saturday. Representing their individual schools, including the prestigious Glasgow School of Sport, the group returned 6 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze medals, as well as a host of other excellent performances. Katie Shanahan and Mark Ford were both double gold medal winners as well as overall champions in the 15/16 years age group. Ford also set impressive meet records in both his swims while Shanahan did likewise in the 200 IM. Promising age grouper Ellyn MacPhee was also in great form in the 12/under section, capturing the 50 Breaststroke title in a new meet record and winning the overall top girl award for that category. Saskia Wade won the remaining gold medal by capturing the 13/14 years 100 Freestyle title, narrowly missing out on the meet record. A summary of the key results follows:

As many of you are now aware, the date, venue and programme of Stirling Graded Meet, originally 19th - 20th January, has been changed by the organisers.
It will now be held at Grangemouth Sports Complex on 20th January (only) and will have a reduced programme of events.
To save any confusion, forms will be re issued ASAP and the entry deadline will now be 28th December.
Anyone who has already paid in cash for this meet should see me at Tollcross tonight for a refund.
I will destroy any cheques which I have received unless instructed otherwise.
My apologies for the inconvenience but it is outwith COGST's control.
Thanks for your understanding
