2020 Seals Splash swim meet

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 virus has forced the cancellation of a number of MSV and MSA swim meets. We had been hoping to postpone the Splash to sometime later in the year, but we have now decided that we will not be able to organise the meet in time to run it this year.

Bird alert in the carpark!

Please be aware that the trees in the carparks are very popular roosting places for birds and that cars parked under them are likely to be liberally covered in bird droppings, so choose your parking spot carefully!

Note that NO entries will be accepted on the night.

Spectators: $10.00 (includes supper) can be paid on the night.

Pool entry is free after 5:00pm, but public admission prices apply before then.

Of course, there will be a raffle with a couple of major prizes and lots of great smaller ones. We're renowned for our raffles and this year is no exception.

Entries

We are using the online entry portal used for other MSV and interclub meets.

Note that only ONLINE entries will be accepted for the Splash.

We don't recommend trying to use Internet Explorer for the online entries because a number of people have had problems with it and have been unable to complete their entries.

We'll add the link here for entries as soon as the meet is set up in the MSV portal.

Remember: closing date is Monday 15 June.

Guest swimmers welcome!

The new FINA rules say that World records and FINA top ten can be recognised only at pools with AOE (electronic timing pads), so you'll have to wait until the next State Short-Course Championships to set these.

However, this means that "guest" swimmers (ie. non-Masters members) are welcome to compete in the Splash. To enter, non-member swimmers should go through the entry portal and, on the first page of the registration process, select "FINA Member", enter any country and then complete the entry. The State Registrar will then fix it up in the system.
