Timeout

What is It

Timeout has been temporarily suspended from the Club Calendar.

Timeout is run over 5 weeks with 3 swims per night.
Swimmers nominate a time for each swim and attempt to swim as close as possible to the nominated time.

The purpose of the series is to aid swimmers in being able to regulate their races time and stragegies.
As a swimmer can nominate any time for a particular swim, the level of challenge is entirely up to the swimmer.
