Relay Skins Information
Finalists and reserves for the medley skins events will be announced following the end of the 100 IM events. The top ten 100IM placed Open/male and top 10 female swimmers in each age group will be invited to participate. The fastest Female qualifier will be placed in a race pair with the slowest Open/Male qualifier and this pattern will continue until all the swimmers are placed in a relay pair. The combined time achieved in the heats by the relay pair will be used for lane allocation. Swimmers must remain in their allocated lane for the duration of the competition.
A reserve list of swimmers placed 11-15 in the 100IM will be communicated. If any of the top 10 do not wish to swim, then reserves will be invited in place order.
The skins event will take place immediately after the warmup in the Sunday afternoon session. There are two competitions which will run simultaneously, 14 and under age group, 15 and over.
Finalists should report to the announcer table within 30 mins of the end of the medley heats to confirm their intention to swim in the skins competition.
