All age groups will be seeded together slowest to fastest within each event.
No scratch penalty shall be imposed for late scratches.
Please use the posted heat sheets to indicate scratches as information only.

Meet management reserves the right to modify session times (all clubs will be notified 1 week before
the meet), limit entries, and eliminate relays to fit available pool time.
All swimmers and coaches must be duly registered and residents of the governing body for which they
are competing. All swimmers and coaches must be in good standing with their respective governing
swim body.
All swimmers and coaches must have primary residence within the province/state or country for which
they claim registration. Proof of residency may be green card, student ID, driver’s license, college
residence or other document as deemed acceptable by Swim Ontario and shall be submitted with the
Proof of Residence and Registration Status form to Swim Ontario.
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.
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.
Photographers:
Photographers must obtain authorization from meet management before the event to get access to the
deck.

Individual results will be separated for award purposes into the following age groups: 8 & under, 9,
