Entries for The Metropolitan Championships are due to the Race Secretary by no later than 12 JUNE. Any new or updated times achieved at the WASA meet 13 June can be handed to the Race Secretary (Gina McConnell 0438279197) on the night of the 13th only. Any entries received after 13 June will not be accepted. Remember this is a NSW run meet and all information must be completed correctly on the entry cards including the section “Achievement date/place” and your Rego No.

When qualifying for short course championships, swimmers can use either a long course or short course qualifying times. Please be aware of the change of procedures introduced by NSW Swimming when entering meets. There are no converted times and this means no conversion chart just use your long course time or short course time provided it meets the entry time.
Program for Metropolitan Championships is on the Swimming NSW website.
