Hi Everyone! Nationals are upon us! I’d like to know who intends to enter, so that the relays can be created in advance. Therefore, please fill in this short form by Sunday, March 22nd.
Also, Meet Management would prefer that teams enter as a team in one entry file so that they do not have to do extra work by dealing with multiple entry uploads and individual invoices, so please send me your entries by emailby Thursday April 23rd. and make your payment to the club email address. (The same way as for Provincials).
Note: If you want to swim a distance event and are concerned about the entry limit, send me your entry ASAP and I will enter you immediately.
