Please ensure you have your IBSC caps on during the race especially relay events.

Meals and Refreshments

Snacks and lunches will be provided by IBSC to the swimmers for the 2 days. Please bring your own supply of water. Parents who wanted to pre-book lunch can contact the Team Manager.

If swimmers plan to skip lunch for any reason, please do inform the Chaperone so that your food is not pre-ordered and wasted. All swimmers are obliged to collect their own lunches before the cut off of 2:00pm each day. Uncollected lunch will be redistributed to avoid wastage.

Group Seating

All team IBSC swimmers must sit in a group so that it is easier to locate for swimmers in relays and to gather swimmers for photography. IBSC seatings should be tentatively above the control room next to the VIP seating as indicated with IBSC flags and banners.

Discipline

Displaying good sportsmanship is vital in any sporting event. The EXCO expects all swimmers to carry the good name of IBSC during the swim meet. All swimmers are to respect each other including your competing peers and adhere to the rules and regulations of the meet and instructions of the Team Managers/officials and coaches.

Please also be reminded that the diving platforms and springboards are out of bounds. Do not be playful around the pool deck or marshaling zone to avoid any untoward incidents. Any delinquent swimmer can be subject to disciplinary action.
