Provincial Towns League INFO
The PTL consists of four Divisions each with 6 or 7 teams in each. Most of our PTL galas will be swum on a Saturday Evening and last about 2 - 2½ hours.
Dates We try and swim all our PTL galas by Easter. There is usually one PTL gala swum per month, usually on the middle Saturday evening of the month.
Age Groups For the year 2007 / 2008 the groupings will be as follows - the years are the year in which the swimmer was born:

PTL Finals - Instead of the swim offs we have in the Teletots, the Ulster Region is split into two and there are area time trials on the 8th March 2008 to decide a team to go down and compete against the South. This gives the swimmers in lower divisions a chance to swim against swimmers in higher divisions. Finals are swum on the 19th April 2008 this year.
The presentations for the League are then made after this gala. This season our ‘A’ Boys Team won the overall points cup in division 4. Well done ! This is the 3rd year in a row winning one of our age group sections.
Bus. We often book a bus for the away galas. The older children do not need to be accompanied by a parent. The younger A group will probably require a parent. We will always be looking for parents to help out with timekeeping. Occasionally we will need a starter or touch judge. These jobs are not difficult and if you are interested in finding out how to do them please ask the coaches or make contact with your PTL rep (this year vacant, but contact June Traill in meantime) Each person on the bus will be required to contribute £2 towards the expenses, unless you are performing a job.
