Nepean Kanata Barracudas Welcome to Long Course Invitational April 13-15, 2018 Hosted by: The Nepean Kanata Barracudas Swim Club Nepean Sportsplex 1701 Woodroffe Avenue Nepean, ON K2G 1W2 Sanctioned by: Swim Ontario General Information Date: April 13 – 15, 2018 Hosted by: Nepean Kanata Barracudas Location: Nepean Sportsplex, 1701 Woodroffe Ave. Nepean, ON K2G 1W2 Facility: 8-lane, 50m competition pool with Kieffer lane ropes and Quantum electronic timing and scoreboard. Competition Coordinator: Doug Nielsen Meet Manager: Megan Dodge - [email protected] Officials: Christie McMann – [email protected] Sanction: Sanctioned by Swim Ontario. All current Swimming/Natation Canada (SNC) rules will be followed. Please note that Swimming Canada Competition Warm-Up Safety Procedures will be in effect. The full document can be viewed HERE. For club and provincial meets, a swimsuit that covers more of the body such as modesty swimwear or religious cover- ups is permitted providing that the fabric is permeable open mesh textile material and does not give the swimmer an advantage. The full interpretation can be viewed HERE. Advanced notification or for clarification of interpretation please see the Competition Coordinator. Eligibility: All athletes must be registered as Competitive swimmers with SNC, or any other amateur swimming organization recognized by FINA. A valid SNC registration number is required for all Canadian swimmers, and entries without a SNC registration number will be declined entry. Split Times: 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. Meet management requires that any coach wishing to rely on a time achieved by the swimmer for an interval shorter than the total distance of the event shall so advise the Referee prior to the commencement of the session (or event) in question. Age Groups: Sessions are grouped by ages: 12 & under and 13 & over. The 50 Free for 13 and over swimmers will have preliminaries, semis and finals. This event will be seeded by gender. All other events within each session will be swum as Timed Finals and will have all ages and sexes seeded together. Results will be published according to age group and sex (10&U, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 & over). Swimmers age will be determined as of the first day of the meet. Standards: Not applicable Meet package: The only meet package which will be considered as valid must be the most current version found on www.swimming.ca Mixed Gender: The host seeks an exemption from the requirement to swim events in gender separated events due to facility or time limitations, swimming separated by gender would not permit all swims to be completed while offering reasonable opportunities to swim for all participants, and in particular on an equitable basis for swimmers of each gender. Entries: Swimmers may enter a maximum of 7 events for the meet. Entries must be submitted through the SNC online entries system at www.swimming.ca . Meet Management will not accept entries directly via email. Deadline: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 Payment: Make cheque(s) payable to “NKB” Fees: Individual Event(s) $9.00 + HST = $10.17 Scratches: Meet Management should be informed of scratches prior to the start of the session. Late scratches will result in empty lanes with no penalty to the swimmer. Points / Awards: Not Applicable Coaches’ Meeting: Time: 3:20 p.m. – Friday, April 13, 2018 Location: On the pool deck in front of the meet management office. Results: Official Results will be posted within 48 hours of completion of the meet to www.swimming.ca COACH’S REGISTRATION: 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. Safety & Liability: Only participating swimmers, officials, certified registered coaches, and authorized people are allowed on deck. Recording of Event: Only individuals that have made application and received authorization to record the event, in any manner, in any medium or context now known or hereafter developed, shall be granted access and permission to do so.
