VIRTUAL WINTER DIVISIONAL & PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
December 16, 2020
As an alternative to our recently cancelled provincial competitions, Swim BC will be hosting the “Virtual Winter Divisional Championships” and “Virtual Winter Provincial Championships” for all eligible swimmers.
Due to the current Public Health Orders, swims may be completed in a unsanctioned time trial. Honesty will be the best policy when submitting times – the best outcome is to ensure swims are completed in a ‘race’ or ‘race rehearsal’ environment. If we’re able to sanction time trials before the events, we will circulate an update at that time.
Swim BC is supporting the event by posting psych sheets and meet results and issuing virtual awards. Meet Packages and Psych sheets can be found on our Championship page.
