FAQ - General Gala Info:
Gala closing dates: Where there is a closing date listed you must get your entries in by this date. However, Entries Open for some meets several months before the actual meet; to be sure of getting all the events you want it is best to get your entries in before the date given in - "Entries to be in by xxxx" - for the initial club entries submission, final entries will be submitted at a later date if the meet is not full.
Pool sizes: All galas/meets are Short Course (SC) ie in a 25 metre pool unless listed as Long Course (LC) ie in a 50 metre pool.
