   Important information

• Students must have a swim cap on for their race-do not rely on borrowing one from school or other students!
• Please wear something appropriate to race in ie. no string bikini tops.
• Large containers of cold water will be provided for students to fill up their water bottle during the day.
• Students are permitted to come to school wearing their swimmers under their school uniform. This will alleviate the need for all students to go into the change rooms at the beginning of the day.
• Parents are invited to attend on the day. Please bring a hat and/or umbrella as the marquees and shaded areas will be prioritised for students.
  
  Sun protection

• Students are not required to race in a rash shirt, however when they are not swimming MUST put a shirt/rashie back on.

• Please discuss sun safety with your child. Please discuss the importance of being out of direct sunlight, wearing a shirt and hat when not competing and also applying and re-applying sunscreen throughout the day. There will be sunscreen available on the day.
