22.01.2022 Great news; Our 2020 Senior (13 yrs and above) MetSEA Summer Championship event registrations will open this Tuesday 22nd September 2020 at 8am via AnotherPB.com . This event will take place at SOPAC on the weekend of the 24th - 25th October 2020. Please note that due to COVID-19 we are bound by some very strict conditions. The conditions of entry may change several times in the lead up to the event. This will be dependant on NSW Health guidelines. Some of the current condi...tions of entry include; Swimmers and Spectators will be limited (Spectators will need a pre-ordered ticket for each session, which is free and will open also on Tuesday. Tickets will need to be scanned upon entry to each session. No more than one spectator per family will be allowed), Swimmers will be required to stay on pool deck and not permitted in the spectator area, whilst parents must remain seated in the spectator area and not permitted in other areas (besides necessary movement such as to go to the bathroom or to get food), coaches will need to pre-register for the sessions they plan on attending (and supply contact details. Coaches will receive a coaches pass), Clubs will be permitted one team manager (who must pre-register prior to the event and will be given a team manager pass), anyone who is sick is not to attend, anyone who has been to Victoria or any hotspots identified by NSW Health within the last 14 days prior to the event must not attend. The event will be conducted with assisted self marshalling. Information on how this will work will be provided.

22.01.2022 Spectators who are planning on attending the 2020 Senior MetSEA Summer Championships, please note, to meet with COVID restrictions, we are not allowed any more than 500 spectators. For this reason spectators will strictly be limited to one person per household. All spectators will require a pre-purchased ticket (free) for each session they plan on attending. Spectators will require a different ticket for each session, (for example if you plan on attending the two sessions on ...Saturday and the two sessions on Sunday, you will require 4 tickets in total, one for each session). Spectators will be required to leave between the two sessions each day and scan back in for the next session. We realise that this will be inconvenient , however in order to run a meet during such times we need to address all government requirements. Due to current limits, Swimmers will not be permitted in the spectator area at any time and must remain on pool deck. Spectators will not be permitted on pool deck for the same reason. Tickets can be purchased (free) at the link below: https://www.trybooking.com/BLRDM

16.01.2022 Covid 19 Up Date and further update next month Please also refer to NSW Swimming Web site 1 July return to sport... On 1 June 2020, the NSW Government announced the resumption of competitive sport from 1 July 2020. Below is a summary of the conditions and requirements for swimming. From 13 June 2020: Indoor recreation facilities can re-open with the following conditions: the number of people in a facility must not exceed one person per 4 square metres, including staff (i.e. the 100 person indoor premises rule will not apply to indoor recreation facilities) sport and recreation activities (including swimming classes) must have no more than 10 participants, plus the instructor and any assistants, per space and comply with one person per 4 square metres. Under NSW public health orders, indoor facility owners and operators must have a COVID-19 Safety Plan that details how their buisness will keep participants, visitors, volunteers and workers safe. The NSW Government has developed this COVID-19 Safety Plan template that can be used by swimming pool operators recommencing from 13 June 2020. From 1 July 2020: Sporting competitions, full training and contact activities can recommence for both junior and adult sport A COVID-19 Safety Plan template has also been developed for community sport recommencing from 1 July 2020, as well as Sports Venue Guidelines posters for clubs to print and display at their venues (Clubs and operators guidelines poster; Participants and spectators guidelines poster). Visit the NSW Government website for more information on becoming a COVID-safe business. It is important that all swimming pool owners and operators also remain up to date with current NSW Government public health orders. Some of the conditions outlined above differ in the ACT. From 12 noon, Friday 19 June 2020, Phase 2.2 of Canberra's Recovery Plan came into effect. The changes, as applicable to pools and swimming, are as follows: Swimming pools can open with a maximum of 100 people (including staff, trainers and spectators) per indoor or outdoor space or one person per 4 square metres, whichever is lesser. Swimming pools should have a maximum of four swimmers per lane. Communal facilities (such as changerooms) can open if a risk assessment has been done and a strict cleaning regime is put in place. This should be outlined in the COVID Safety Plan. Canteens can operate, however, physical distancing must be encouraged. Regards Public Relations Officer Metsea Executives

10.01.2022 To The BOM Committee From Each Metsea Club Due to Current Covid Restrictions and polices this matter is even more important. This is a request moving forward from 2020 that all Club contacts.... President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Race Secretary are using their web host email address and not their personal email address. My Self and our Secretary will be contacting each club to make sure this happens. We would like to communicate more efficiently and make sure club are contactable and don't miss out on important information and updates. We will be looking at ways to make sure this can happen through Swim Central and maybe through Metsea Time Trial Request. This has been an ongoing issue which now needs to be resolved. As each committee may change each season and personal emails move as well. Please use the format set above and add your Mobile number if you wish and send asap. Please help us achieve this by sending the above email addresses for your club to the below email Kind Regards George Benhayon [email protected]

08.01.2022 How good was it being back racing. Well done to all swimmers after day 1 of the 2020 Senior MetSEA Summer Championships. There were many great races. Don’t forget that due to Covid restrictions, medals will be sent to the clubs of those medal winners. Also due to a lack of volunteer’s, COVID restrictions make it impossible to use the backstroke ledges under handling of equipment. We are still in need of some more volunteers for tomorrow (especially in the afternoon session).... You will be needed for an entire session, however, we will pay for your parking, provide you with lunch, and include a free coffee. Sounds a lot better than sitting in a grandstand on your own to me . Anyone able to assist please send a private message to this Facebook page or email [email protected] A huge, massive thank you to everyone who volunteered today. It was very much appreciated.
