• When nominating you only need to advise if swimmers will be attending. The Nominator will allocate each swimmer into their respective age group stroke races. 
• Any swimmer listed as attending will be allocated a race in all four strokes unless advised. Please provide comments in the 'notes for coach' text box if the swimmer wishes to only participate in certain strokes. No Age Championship points will be awarded for strokes that are not swum.
