Arrival Time/Warm up groups
We have separated swimmers into 3 warm up groups for Saturday and 2 for Sunday. If you follow this link and scroll down it will tell you when to arrive and when to be on poolside. Please don't enter the building before your allocated time. Changing space is limited and we want to try and reduce overcrowding. We have allowed 20 minutes from your arrival time to your warm up. Even the tightest of racing costumes only take 15 minutes to put on - no need to panic!
Spectators
Please limit yourself to one spectator per swimmer. Space is limited and we want to give every swimmer the chance to have someone watching and cheering them on. Normally we would welcome a family day out but we are not currently running on normal.
Covid
Face masks - Face masks must be worn by all officials, marshalls and spectators when in the building. Swimmers should wear facemasks on entry and exit of the building and whilst on their benches waiting to swim.
Every person attending the event must be either double jabbed or able to provide evidence of a negative lateral flow test or proof of a positive PCR test within the preceding 90 days, providing all isolation has been completed. This is a requirement of all swimmers, volunteers, officials and spectators. Please be prepared to provide that evidence if asked.
Withdrawals
If you are injured or no longer wish to swim this weekend please self withdraw on Swimming Events up to 9pm on Thursday 23rd September. After that time please email wingalateam@gmail.com to withdraw and we will run with empty lanes.
Volunteers
Thank you to everyone who volunteered - there is a list of roles for volunteers on the Club Champs page here - if you aren't sure what to do or are unable to now attend please let us know asap - certain roles are essential to the licence criteria being met.
Heat sheets and lane sheets will be emailed to all volunteers as their role requires. Please print them and bring them with you. We will not be providing paperwork for everyone.
Heat sheets will also be posted on the Club Champs page to be printed by anyone who wants them.
Filming and Photography
Filming and photography may be taking place at some of the events. If you do not wish your swimmer to be filmed or photographed please email wingalateam@gmail.com asap. If you do need to film your swimmer for GCSE PE please let us know asap (and before 9pm Thursday) in case we have had some objections so we can amend heats.
Exit
Once you have completed your race/s you can get changed and exit the building through the main doors.
Thank you
Michael
