Brockville Splash
Sunday June 17, 2012
Our aim is to provide a good swim experience for our swimmers.
Due to current regulations by the Fire marshals our club is experiencing difficulties with spectator
space and recommend that clubs encourage parents to limit numbers attending as spectators but we
would be happy to accommodate any parents who might wish to officiate at the meet.
Swimmer marshalling will be done off deck to accommodate the spectators if necessary.
ONLY HY –TECH submissions allowed as confirmation of entry (NO space saved verbally)
