Split Times:
All swimmers and coaches must be duly registered and residents of the governing
body for which they are competing. All swimmers and coaches must be in good
standing with their respective governing swim body.
All swimmers and coaches must have primary residence within the province/state or
country for which they claim registration. Proof of residency may be green card,
student ID, driver’s license, college residence or other document as deemed
acceptable by Swim Ontario and shall be submitted with the Proof of Residence and
Registration Status form to Swim Ontario.
Meet management will cross reference the list of coaches in attendance at this
competition with the Swim Ontario Compliancy lists. If a coach is not on this list,
meet management is obligated to enforce the SNC policy and not permit that coach
to attend meet. Meet management will forward Swim Ontario a list of coaches who
they have found to be in non-compliance.
The procedure for obtaining an ‘Official Split’ now requires that coaches make the
request to the session referee or meet management on the “Official Split Request”
form prior to the race. The split for the lead-off leg in relays will still be regarded as
an official split and therefore no request by coaches is needed for relays. However,
in the new ‘mixed gender’ relays, lead-off times/splits are not considered ‘official
splits’ as per international practice.
Photographers: Photographers must obtain authorization from meet management before the event to
get access to the deck.
Awards:
Bell Heat prizes (only)
