Introduced in November 2011 the Grand Prix Series provides our swimmers with an additional opportunity to race against high quality opposition, usually in long course format, at key periods of the competitive season.
The Meets are open to all swimmers throughout Scotland and entries are also be welcomed from across the UK and overseas. The series consists of three meets hosted in Inverness, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Each meet will follow the same format with swimmers scoring points based on performance at each meet. The prize fund is £5,000 and will be earned by the leading swimmers across the series, with prizes for the best overall swimmers (male and female) and for individual categories. Meets may also be entered on an individual basis but swimmers must contest at least two of the three meets in order to be eligible for prize money.
A full programme of 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m events are swum together with Women's 800m and Men's 1500m Freestyle. 100 & 200m events have both A & B finals.
The North District Grand Prix is the Phase 2 Meet for selection onto the Scottish
Commonwealth Games swimming team.
Phase 2 will be used to select swimmers for any individual and relay events remaining
after Phase 1 and for relay alternates if required.

Sapphire Pool, one of the prettiest in Yellowstone, settled down to its placid former self after a violent episode in 1959. The Hebgen Lake earthquake turned the placid clear pool into a powerful, muddy geyser for years afterward. T. Scott Bryan writes,
"No spring in Yellowstone was more greatly affected by the 1959 earthquake than Sapphire. The day after the shocks the crater was filled with muddy water, constantly boiling with vigor. Four weeks later Sapphire began having tremendous eruptions. Fully 125 high and almost equally as wide, these eruptions were among the most powerful ever known in Yellowstone. At first, the intervals were as short as two hours, and each play lasted five minutes."
The eruptions enlarged the pool by several feet, destroying the geyserite "biscuits" around its crater that had given Biscuit Basin its name. Over time the eruptions became less intense and frequent. By 1971 all the muddiness was gone, and Sapphire again regained its pristine aqua color, as you see it today.
Change is the only constant in Yellowstone's hot springs. Just 100 yards to the east of Sapphire Pool (out of frame to the right of the photo) is an area where explosions have created and altered springs and geysers in the decades following 1902. Explosions as recent as 2006-2008 threw rocks and debris as far as 50 feet. Remnants of these explosions are visible from the boardwalk as you walk to Sapphire Pool. Geologists are keeping an eye on the area (see next photo of Black Opal Pool).
