Written by: Swimming Victoria

To continue providing a safer environment at competitions, Swimming Victoria is implementing, once again, some necessary changes to the 2022 Victorian Qualifying Competition to ensure the safety of staff, swimmers, coaches, technical officials, and spectators and limit any additional contact of all involved outside of racing.

WARM-UP & COOL-DOWN

Warm-up and cool-down lanes during each session will NOT be available in the indoor pool. There will be 30-minute break intervals across each competition day to allow swimmers to warm-up or cool-down in the OUTDOOR POOL ONLY. This will be reflected in the session report.

RESULTS

Printed results will not be posted on the glass windows. Results may be viewed via Meet Mobile and will be available post event via Swim Central.

TIMEKEEPERS

Swimming Victoria request that there is no change over of timekeepers before or after each mid-session break as will be reflected in the published session report. This will ensure that only 20 timekeepers are on pool deck per session without any need for interchanging and movement across pool deck. The timekeeper roster will be available on the event page.

SPECTATORS (Parents & Guardians)

Swimming Victoria strongly recommend the minimum number of parents/guardians necessary to support their swimmers attend the event. Attendees are reminded to not congregate within the MSAC entrance foyer. Please remain in the grandstand area or mezzanine level throughout the competition. This competition will not be livestreamed.

FACE MASKS

Although an outdoor event, it is recommended that face masks are worn if you are unable to physically distance in the grandstand or whilst on pool deck.

REFUNDS

For those who know prior to the competition days that they are unable to attend the competition due to being a COVID positive case or required to isolate as a household contact ONLY you may request a refund via Swim Central only up until Friday 11th February 2022. Please provide this reason when prompted in Swim Central. If you discover you are unable to attend across the competition days (Saturday & Sunday) due to testing positive or isolating, please email events@vic.swimming.org.au no later than Sunday 13th February 5pm. Requests after this time will not be accepted or refunded.

Please note, Swimming Victoria will not be providing event entry refunds for any other reason.

Thank you to all for your continued support and understanding. We look forward to the 2022 Victorian Qualifying Competition!
