There are a number of different kinds of gala, including
graded galas,junior league and open (individual entry) competitions. Most swimmers are initially given the opportunity
to have experience in a graded league gala, competing as part of the Anaconda team against others of a similar ability.
All swimmers in the big pools are encouraged
to make themselves available to swim in galas if invited to do so. It is a requirement
of the club that all squad swimmers at Cally must be committed to representing the club in galas. Galas are normally held on Saturdays and on some occasions a minibus may be provided to take swimmers from
the Cally Pool to the gala and return them to the pool (a small charge is made).
