Event Details

EVENT UPDATE: 
Unfortunately due to the current COVID-19 situation and extended lockdowns, it is with much regret that Swimming NSW has decided that we won’t be able to hold this year’s NSW Country SC Championships as planned. However, in order to provide a racing opportunity for our Country Athletes who are not in lockdown areas, Swimming NSW is planning to hold two “Winter Country Regional” events at two separate regional locations, depending on the demand. We are still in the process of sourcing suitable locations and dates for these events but will provide an update shortly regarding this.

All Swimmers entered in the SNSW Country SC Event at SOPAC will be refunded via an AUTOMATIC REFUND. Swimmers do not need to request a refund themselves.

Our swimmers have shown incredible resilience throughout the past 18 months and we want to ensure everyone that this situation is only temporary and we will be back racing soon. We encourage our athletes and their families, in particular those effected by lockdown, to stay active and stay connected and recommend having a read of ReachOut’s 10 Tips for taking care of yourself during this uncertain time.
