Masters Swim Meets General Notes
Just a few notes for
those who compete or are interested in competing in Masters swim meets.
- If you want to
participate in competitions, you must be registered with MSO
(Masters Swimming Ontario). (This must be done in advance and takes a
couple of weeks to complete -- contact me for more details.)
- When you enter a
competition, always give an estimated time, even for events you
haven't raced before.
- Things to bring to a
swim meet: warm clothes, sandals, extra towels, water bottle, snacks, pen and
paper
- Always warm down (swim easy) after every event, if there is pool space to
do so
- Interested in attending the Quebec Provincials in Trois
Rivieres? Lina (Whitecaps "A") and
Violaine (6:30am Earlybirds) are planning to attend
- Interested in
attending the World Masters Games in Edmonton? About
15 swimmers from Technosport are going and have been meeting to make
plans. If you are interested in getting involved, contact Pat Niblett niblett@magma.ca
