We will be running each individual event seeded by entry times and not ages. Results will be divided into age groups and bands will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. The emphasis will be on keen competition in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We welcome entries from your club. We will be using “Meet Manager 5” to run the gala, so files from Hy-Tek “Team Manager” can be exported and sent to us (as an email attachment). If you prefer, you can send entries in Word or Excel formats. A Swim Ireland Registration Number must be included for all swimmers. If you have any queries we would be glad to take them by phone or email. Please include a contact name and phone number / email with all entries. Swimmers should be able to swim at least two lengths of the pool unaided. Diving blocks will be positioned at the deep end of the pool. Electronic timing will be in use. Race results will be distributed via Meet Mobile and a copy of all your swimmer’s times/results will also be made available to clubs at the conclusion of the gala. Results will also be posted on the Leinster Swimming website. We look forward to welcoming your club swimmers to Wexford in March.
