Merrylands SwimFest
Today is Merrylands SwimFest day. We have 200 swimmers from six clubs attending, so it is a big event for us again.
Please ensure you review the online program and SwimFest information here as this contains important information about the meet including COVID-19 Information and the Meet Procedures. This includes every person entering the swimming centre, including all swimmers, must check-in using the Service NSW QR code at the pool entry. There will be additional QR codes located along the external wall outside the pool entry to assist in reducing queuing in this area.
The COVID-19 drive-through test clinic continues to use part of the swimming centre carpark. Parking will remain limited. Please take care when walking from your car to the centre.
SwimFest warm up commences at 1.30pm with races starting at 2.30pm.
Good luck to our 40 swimmers who are competing at the SwimFest. May the whale be with you all. 🐳
We ask for the help of all parents and members who are not competing in the SwimFest as we have many roles to undertake on the day.
