Club gazebos/tents may be erected at the facility on Friday afternoon after 4pm.

We have 250m swimmers this weekend, which means parking will be at a premium, please be courteous in the carpark and expect to walk to the gates rather than stopping in the gateway to let swimmers disembark. There will be spaces reserved for Swimming Manawatu key personnel, please leave these empty if not in use. Disability parking is also available but limited. It is fabulous to see a growing number of para swimmers attending this event.

There is no warm-up or down water available during the sessions of the meet. If anyone wants access to the indoor pools they will need to book in advance and/or pay public entry fees to be indoors.

Ice 5
Whanganui  4

Please can clubs provide names for these timekeepers before Friday.  If any travelling clubs have IOT’s etc with them wanting to spend some time on our pool deck, please see the referee at the beginning of sessions.
