Year 6 Girls - Charlotta Gates,  Year 6 Boys - ​​Oliver Mann
Selection of the team
8 swimmers from each year/gender group are selected giving a total of 32 for the team.
Each team member will swim 1 individual event, 1 leg of either the Medley or Freestyle relays. There is also a squadron comprising 2 swimmers in each year/gender totaling 8 swimmers - selection of swimmers in the squadron will be made before the gala but will include swimmers already in the team. The individual events are 50m, the relays are 4 x 25m, and squadron 8 x 25m.
​The Trials Gala is used as a basis for selection of the team.
Generally, those swimmers who come first or second in an event at the trials gala will be included in the team. However, this does not mean they will do that particular event, as an individual event, in the Herts Champs.
Both the selection of the team and what each swimmer is swimming (individual and relay) is made to maximise the potential of the whole team. We consider all the events swimmers completed (and times) to decide on the make up of the team and what each person will swim.
Details of the Hertforshire Primary Schools Inter-District Swimming Championships
St Albans District will swim in Lane 5 at the 2017 championships.
For each age/gender group the events comprise 2 individual 50m events for each of the 4 strokes, 2 relays Freestyle and Medley both 4 x 25m, and 1 relay Freestyle Squadron 8 x 25m. Each team member swims in at least 2 events, an individual and a relay.
Points in the championships are based on the following:
There is 6 Hertfordshire Districts - St Albans, Watford, East, North, Dacorum, and Mid - lanes 1 & 8 are not used. 
Each individual event is run Heat Declared Winner (there is no finals) ie. all 12 swimmers (2 from each District) in an individual event are ranked after the event with 1st getting 12 points and 12th 1point. No swimmer or DQ gets zero points.
Each Medley/Freestyle relay event is run as a final with 1st getting 12 points, 2nd 10 points (ie. a reduction by 2 points per position) and 6th getting 2 points. No team or DQ gets Nil points.
Squadron point scoring is as per Medley/Freestyle relay.
The team with the most points is the winner of the championships, and also for each age/gender group.
