⏱️ TIMEKEEPERS NEEDED FOR SHORT COURSE SHOWDOWN 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

With the Short Course Showdown meet happening this weekend, we’re making one final call for Timekeepers!

If you haven’t already been allocated a Timekeeping session, please get in touch with the Club admin to see where you can help.

Why is this so important? ⏱️

Every swimmer deserves to have their race time recorded. If a Club’s allocated lane doesn’t have the required Timekeepers confirmed before warm-up, there is a real risk that times for those athletes may not be recorded.

We simply don’t have enough personnel to cover missing Timekeepers on the day, and trying to find people once we’re on pool deck creates unnecessary congestion and stress for everyone.

🙏 Please check with us today and make sure your Timekeeping session is covered.

It only takes a little bit of your time, but it makes a huge difference to our swimmers and helps the meet run smoothly.

Thank you to everyone who has already put their hand up to help—we really appreciate you! 💙
