Swim Camp is being held May 26^th & 27^th at the UBC Aquatic Centre – early registration due by April 15^th. Urged anyone interested to register early, as registration is limited to 100 swimmers.

Have booked Watermania August 4^th & 5^th for the Regional championships. Will use 2^nd pool for warm-ups. Need to work with coach’s representative as to how to utilize 2^nd pool, as at this time public swimmers will have access to the 2^nd pool as well. It was suggested that the 2^nd pool be limited to length swimming only for both the competitive and public swimmers. It was also noted that the bulkhead must remain clear of all swimmers so not to disturb the races in the main pool.

We are still looking for a Registrar.
