Coaches can collect their ‘medal bag’ from the pool office at the end of the event. This will give you the opportunity to present these back at school next week, if you wish.
The overall team places will be announced and the ACSIS Shields will be presented to the winning girls and boys teams on the day. Can last years champions please return the shields on the day

VOLUNTEERS
Please remember to bring your TWO-volunteers/time keepers (who will also get free food and water by the way). We cannot run a successful meet without the help from your schools.

We are planning to go as paperless as possible for this event (however many programmes will be available), Those of you with the Meet Mobile App you will be able to access the ACSIS MS Swim Meet. This App will give you the full Meet Program, and up to date results as they come in. If you don't have the App, it will cost you a small fee, as it is no longer free, so please be aware of that.

We have limited car parking space, however, extra car parking will be made available on the Top Nexus Sports field. The School Security will point you in the correct direction. If possible, please let you parents/supporters know this.
