REGISTRATION:
The Cronulla Beach Swim and The Shark Island Swim will be timed by an electronic tag system involving the use of an electronic tag system attached to an ankle band and detection mats at the finish line.
TIMING BANDS :
Your responsibilities as a competitor include:
1. When you register for your swim on the Sunday morning you will be issued with your timing band and a swim cap.
There will be a different timing band and swim cap for each of the swim events.
2. You must wear the timing band on your left ankle and swim cap on your head at all times while swimming.
You must leave them on until you finish the entire swim course.
The timing band is a means of recording your finish time across the special timing mats located at the end of the swim, on the beach.
3. At the completion of the swim you will be required to remove the timing band and hand it to officials prior to leaving the secured Finish Area.
4. As you have acknowledged on your entry contract, the timing band is on loan and you are committed to returning the timing band
intact with the tag to the Cronulla SLSC or pay a $55.00 fee.
5. It is imperative that you return the timing band to a Finish Area official should you withdraw from the race at any time.
It is essential for us to know where you are on the course at all times, for your safety and our ability to post accurate official results after the events.
6. Should you lose your timing band during any leg of the swim, you should alert an Official at the finish of the event.
