Withdrawal forms should be submitted to the Timing Room or emailed to galas@cityofsunderlandasc.co.uk by the following deadlines. Sessions 1 and 2: 18:00 on Friday 3rd July. Sessions 3 and 4: 14:00 on Saturday 4th July.

Swimmers need to be in Marshalling 5 heats before their heat.

Warm-Up Procedure

A maximum of 18 swimmers per lane in long course and 8 swimmers per lane in short course must be adhered to throughout all warm-up sessions. Please ensure swimmers use the full long course lane during warm-up.

Sprint lanes will be made available in the last 10 minutes of each warm-up, operating in lanes 0, 1, 2 and 7, 8, 9 from the scoreboard end.

The 25-metre diving pool is available for continuous warm-up and swim-downs. This facility is not provided for social recreation. Coaches and Team Managers: it is your responsibility to ensure all swimmers are aware of this and use the dive pool safely and appropriately. Any misuse will result in the facility being withdrawn.

Due to the large number of swimmers on deck over the weekend, clubs are asked to be conservative with space in the seating areas and to limit time in the warm-down pool to only what is necessary, to ensure fair use for everyone.

All the very best for a great meet.
