Meet Program

Club Timekeeper Lane Allocations – In order to ensure that our Meet is an official qualifying Meet, we require 2 time keepers per lane. Ballarat based clubs have been allocated Lanes and are responsible for rostering their own timekeepers throughout the Meet. All OTHER clubs have been allocated Lane 1 and 2 for timekeeping. Please can members of OTHER clubs sign up for their timekeeping duties here. A roster will be finalised and distributed via email. If you haven’t done time keeping before, all that you have to do is press a button when the swimmer in your lane touches the wall (the start is automatic). Very easy-nothing to be scared of and you have a great view of the Finish!
