DASC Time Trials are a series of mini galas run throughout the year from January to June which will replicate actual competition conditions as closely as possible. These time trials are open to all swimmers and entry is free. After each round swimmers times will be placed on the club's noticeboard as well as on the website. Parents can volunteer to take part by marshalling, timekeeping and/or any other role required in running the time trials.
