02jun2026 UPDATE:
- ENTRIES & FEES REPORTS emailed out to all confirmed. Final deadline: Wed 03jun2026 @ 11pm
- Our Host is in need of Officials. They're working towards double ending the AM sessions, which means more volunteers are needed to save everyone time.
Email excerpt from our Host: Nanaimo Riptides"We currently have 403 swimmers entered, which is fantastic. Unfortunately, the session report noticed too.
With those numbers, the prelim sessions are becoming a bit of a concern. We are still committed to double-ending the meet, which should help speed things up and save approximately 30–60 minutes per session.
We will need some help in a few key positions during prelims and are hoping the clubs can assist us. The biggest needs will be Starter and Hy-Tek, and I'm sure we'll be looking for additional Stroke & Turn officials as well."
