Spectators at BC Summer Provincials

Jul 13, 2022

Swim BC, together with host Vancouver Pacific Swim Club and UBC Aquatic Centre, are pleased to announce that a limited number of spectator spaces will be made available for each session of the 2022 BC Summer Provincial Championships (July 14-17, 2022).
  • The priority of Swim BC and event officials is to ensure a quality swim meet by prioritizing the field of play. As such, spectators will only be permitted once all volunteer positions for each session have been filled.
  • A maximum of 200 spectators at any time will be permitted within the north side of the mezzanine seating area of the UBC Aquatic Centre.
  • Session specific wristbands for up to 200 spectators will be handed out fifteen minutes prior to the start of each session at the southeast entrance of the UBC Aquatic Centre (not the main entrance). A maximum of 250 wristbands will be made available for each session to facilitate new entries should some spectators elect to leave the facility.
Event Volunteers: Sign-up for a front row seat! Family and friends are encouraged to volunteer to support the event. Details for volunteer positions can be found here. EVENT INFO: We look forward to hosting you this weekend. Thank you, Meet Management

Time Standards The time standards will revert to the 2021-22 standards that were first published in September 2021, with the exception of the 11 – 12 year age group. The 11 – 12 year standard sits between the first published standards and the updated standards. Please note that the time standards are for entry into the swim meet and do not indicate the age group divisions within the meet.

The final session will include one heat of each gender (five 11 – 12 plus five 13 – 14 age groups or five 15 – 16 plus five 17 & Over), depending on the day. All other swimmers will swim in the preliminary session two per lane. Relay Events The top 10 seeded relays will swim in finals with all remaining relays swimming in the preliminary session. All relays must be entered with swimmers’ names and a validated entry time. Non-validated relays will be seeded as a ‘No Time’ entry.

Para-swimmers will be seeded in preliminaries according to entry times. Para-swimming events with fewer than five entries: the event(s) will be para-swimmer only timed finals swum during the preliminary session. Size Management Upon processing of the meet entries, if the timelines are not manageable, Swim BC may modify the competition by adjusting the start times and limiting individual or relay entries.
