Entries for the 2009/2010 NSW Metropolitan Championships start to close from Saturday, 21st November, 2009.

To compete at these championships you must have achieved the required qualifying time at an approved meet as detailed on the Qualifying Time Information page.

Swimming NSW will be using a new Online Entry System for the Metropolitan Championships which will be held on the 12 – 13 December 2009 at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre.

Online Entries will close at 5pm SHARP on Wednesday 2nd December 2009. Manual entries will also be accepted but close with the club on Saturday, 21st November. All entries after this date must be completed online.

However, please note that the online system does not currently support entries using a short course entry time. Entries with short course entry times must be completed manually and submitted to the club by the manual entry closing date.

If you have entries with long course entry times you should complete these online and pay via credit card. Any other entries with short course entry times should be submitted separately with payment to the club.

For example John wishes to enter the 50m Freestyle, 100m Freestyle, 50m Backstroke & 100m Backstroke. Using his long course times John logs onto Events Online and enters the 50m Freestyle, 50m Backstroke and the 100m Backstroke and pays online for these three events.
However John wants to enter using a short course time for his 100m Freestyle so he submits his multi entry card to his Club Race Secretary who will enter and pay for this event ONLY. Hence John pays $36.00 online and $12 to his race secretary.

Manual Entries must be submitted on Multi-Entry Cards. The Multi-Entry cards must be completely filled out including date and place that times were achieved. Entries must also include your registration number.

The Psych Sheet for the meet will be placed on the homepage of the Swimming NSW website (www.nswswimming.com.au) which will be available for download from 6pm Wednesday 2nd December 2009. All entrants are encouraged to download this document and check the events they have entered and their qualifying times. If any of these are incorrect you will have until 5pm Thursday 3rd December 2009 to send an email to correct any mistakes to meet.entries@nsw.swimming.org.au.
Changes can only be made by sending an email.

If you are unable to log on to Events Online but have already paid your membership for the 2009 – 2010 Season please contact our Registrar, Peter Johnston, to confirm that your membership is processed and paid, as the system will NOT let you enter if your membership is pending.

The $5 per swimmer fee will NO LONGER apply for any manual entries received for these Championships.

All competitors should attempt to enter the championships using the online system as soon as possible. If you have any questions or problems please contact a member of the club’s Competition Committee (Tricia Johnston, Teresa Johnson or Peter Johnston) before the Manual Entry closing date so that you don't miss out on entering.

For more information on NSW meets read the Championship Procedures information in the Swim Meets Section.

Instructions on how to enter online can be found on the Meet Entry Procedures page.


No late entries will be accepted.
