Please ensure you read the race rules and technical information carefully. The Canterbury AIMS Schools Sports Council wants this event to cater for positive participation in a non-threatening environment. This event is, however, a sanctioned swimming meet and there are disqualifications, so please ensure you read your specific race rules e.g. two-handed touch requirements for breaststroke
Venue: EA Networks Centre
Meeting Time & Organisation: Students will be transported to/from the venue by bus. Students are required to meet in the Heaton Intermediate hall, promptly at 7:10am The bus will depart school no later than 7:30 am, as any competitor that reports late to the marshalling area will not be accepted for racing. We anticipate that we will return to school by 3 pm. There will be a message sent via Hero if we are running late.
