Heats and finals meet that will be a main focus for our fall training cycle. All swimmers in Monsoon, Typhoon and Pursuit are encouraged to attend. Since this is a focus meet swimmers are strongly suggested to get to Nanaimo earlier on Thursday so they can get a good rest and leave after finals on Sunday to get the full experience. Swimmers who are also attending the Pointe-Claire Meet can plan to attend Saturday-Sunday only.

Swimmer Options For Attending the Meet:
Sign up for team travel - depart Hollyburn at 2:30pm for 3:45pm ferry. Or meet at the ferry by 3:15pm. Return on 8:45pm ferry, although can make arrangements to get a ride with another family earlier if works with events.
Sign up for chaperoning - get a hotel room and help organize meals for swimmers (catered lunch and dinner). Can sign up if traveling with own swimmers we just need some parents to help.
Sign up for family to travel with the team - get a hotel room reserved and can choose if swimmers eat with team or not.
Sign up with full travel on your own.
Hotel - Inn on Long Lake
We have a group booking at the Inn on Long Lake for $145+tax/night. It includes a good breakfast. Just let Brad know and you can have one of our reserved rooms.
Meals
Breakfast included at the hotel. Lunch and dinner will be catered for the swimmers. We will head to restaurant on Thursday night for anyone who takes the 3:45pm or earlier ferry.
Ferry Reservations
I would strongly recommend everyone books ferries in advance. Ideally:
Thursday, Dec 12 - 3:45-5:25pm (or if necessary 6:35-8:15pm but not as good for premeet)
Sunday, Dec 15 - 8:45-10:25pm (only other option is 5:55-7:35pm where could make relays at start of finals and first couple of finals events)
Tsawwassen does have other options to Nanaimo but similar times.
Any questions - email Brad!
