Updates for SKSC Swimmers

Quick Notes:

• This is a Short Course Heats and Finals Championship swim meet Friday-Sunday.
• Meet is in Chilliwack, please plan commutes accordingly keeping in mind rush hour and long weekend traffic! Plan extra time just in case.

About Warm Ups:

• Warm ups will be blocked
• Reminder - we strongly recommend that you arrive early to find seating.  Swimmers will not be allowed to sit upstairs in the bleacher section as that will be reserved for spectators.  We recommend swimmers bring tents/pop-up canopies and find a spot outside to sit for Friday and Saturday but swimmers can also set up on deck.  For Sunday, rain is on the forecast so they may need to set up indoors.
• Please arrive by the on deck times unless otherwise directed by your coach.

Team Expectations for Finals and Relays:

• This is a championship meet.  We encourage swimmers to attend finals even if they are not in them to support the team.
• All relays will be in finals at the end of the session. Relays are subject to change.
• Unless a swimmer noted during the meet sign up process, they are expected to return for finals if they are in the top 10 or on a relay. 
• No shows for finals and relays are subject to late scratch penalties ($20) and/or full relay fees ($15) if absence results in a canceled relay in addition to other repercussions.
• Please ensure you are double checking with coaches after your last prelim swim and waiting for results to be posted if you want to leave for the day.  There may be changes to relays or information coaches are privy to, such as scratches.  Once again, wait for the results to be posted and DO NOT LEAVE FOR THE DAY UNLESS YOU HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH YOUR COACH.

400s and 1500s

• These events are timed finals (raced once)
• 400FR/400IM - Top 8 in each age group will swim directly in finals.  All provincial qualifiers, regardless of place, and remaining swimmers will race in prelims.  Top 8 will be confirmed after the positive check-in deadline.
• 1500FR - All heats will race in prelims.

Other Notes:

• We will be doing activation outside so dress accordingly.
• All swimmers need to be wearing their SKSC t-shirt or sweatshirt while on deck and your SKSC cap while racing. 
• Swimmers are required to attend warmups and all of their races, and are allowed to leave when they finish their last race of a session.  Double check with your coach if you are unsure.
• Be prepared with extra towels, healthy snacks, water bottles, etc…as days can be long, and staying warm, fueled and hydrated will be important to race your best from day to day.
• Coaches are not responsible for watching swimmers between heats and finals.
• We encourage swimmers to leave electronic devices at home unless needed for communication or music.  Be engaged with the meet and your teammates!

For Parents:

• Upper bleachers will be available for spectators.  No deck chairs will be permitted in this area.
• Live stream link here: Swim BC YouTube Channel
• Volunteer Link: Officials and Volunteer Sign-Up Form
• Coach Amber and Coach Ronald will be attending all weekend.  Coach Darlene will be in attendance on Saturday/Sunday.
