Northwest Micro League is a three Division league aimed at giving young swimmers aged 9-12 their first taste of competitive swimming action in a friendly team-based setting. Clitheroe Dolphins are currently in Division C and are aiming to return to the B division when racing restarts in 2022.

The winners and promoted teams are decided by who has accumulated the most points across all events. The team to represent Dolphins is selected by the head coach prior to each event, and usually consists of 4 to 5 boys & 4 to 5 girls in each of the following age bandings:

  • Aged 9 and under (at the date of the National final in Nov) - all raced over 25m
  • Aged 10 (at the date of the National final in Nov) - Butterfly is raced over 25m and all other events raced over 50m
  • Aged 11 (at the date of the National final in Nov) - all raced over 50m
  • Aged 12 (at the date of the National final in Nov) - all raced over 50m
The team will be selected approximately 2 weeks before the first gala and the selected swimmers will be contacted by Team Manager Becky Walmsley.
