This Meet is oversubscribed.

For those of you new to Scratches (SCR) and Alternates (ALT) here is the explanation:

A Scratched entry is one where the swimmer doesn’t have a swim and gets a refund.
An Alternate entry is one where the swimmer doesn’t currently have a swim. They must present themselves at Marshalling to see if they get a swim. If a swim is not available then the swimmer will get a refund. If the swimmer doesn’t present themselves at Marshalling they will not get a refund.

There is a slight change to the event programme (on Saturday) due to the number of entries:

Session 4 e401 e402 e403 e404 - 30 minute break

Sprint Session e405 e406 e501 e502 - Lunch break/warm up

Below is a message from the organisers

Hi All,

Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend and some fast racing.

We have chosen to merge some sessions, as they are a bit short on their own, to enable a decent finish time.

The timings are as follows;-

Saturday Session 1 Warm up 8.30am- 9.30am - Racing starts at 9.35am
Saturday Session 2 & 3 are merged with a short break between the sessions- so one warm up at approximately 1.15pm for an hour.
Estimated finish time 6.40pm

Sunday Session 1 Warm up 8.30am- 9.30am
Sunday Session 2 & 3 Merged - warm up estimates 11.50am for an hour.
Estimated finish time 4.45pm

Monday Session 1 & 2 merged -Warm up shorter (40mins from 8.15am)
Estimated finish time 1pm.

This is all subject to meeting the Licensing conditions of number of Officials to run the maximum number of lanes.

Sign-ins will be operating for the 800m and 1500m- deadline will be 9am each day. The sign in desk will be located outside of the Control Room, just on the pool deck.

The desk will double up as a liaison desk for any queries;- withdrawals, deck entries etc. Please do not come into the control room unless invited as this will be a busy and stressful environment.

Only those who have ordered and paid for poolside passes will be allowed to accompany their swimmer/s poolside- please let me know if you have forgotten to do this. Otherwise seating is available in the spectator areas.

Programmes for the weekend will be on sale for £10.

With regard to car parking, the organisers are reliant on Legacy Leisure who run the pool and in turn they rely on Cardiff Council. Sadly no extra parking has been provided for the event so please use the existing centre parking.

Please check confirmed entry list as this meet has been oversubscribed and some swimmers have had events scratched.
