COVID
Swimming Australia recognises and understands the unique challenges faced in the current phase of the COVID-19 pandemic for everyone be it staff, volunteers, coaches, athletes, and family members. Whilst the challenges are real, the current restrictions in place do not pose a barrier for the event proceeding as planned, particularly being an outdoors performance environment.
In line with creating the safest environment possible for all attendees, Swimming Australia will be implementing the below protocols. We acknowledge that not all these protocols can be mandated across the entire attendee cohort. However, we strongly recommend that all technical officials, coaches, team managers, athletes and families attending consider what they can each do as individuals, to help us deliver a low-risk event.
Swimming Australia will do all that is possible within its control and will be reliant on individuals doing the same in ensuring their health, fitness, and appropriateness in attending this event. The protocols outlined, together with the changes to the program of events, have been put in place to minimise the risks for all attendees and we appreciate your help in keeping our community operating with the health and safety of all at the forefront.

KEY EVENT TIMINGS & INFO
Please see the Program of Events for the outline of pre-meet training, registration and race times. Also, refer to the Information Book for other event specific details. This is a non-ticketed event however, all participants (athletes, coaches, team managers, officials) require accreditation. Under the General Activity Direction, any place at which a defined public activity is conducted must use an approved contact tracing system. Therefore, all event attendees (participants and spectators) will be required to check in using the QR codes displayed around the various event areas.
Accreditation will be used to control access to the course during the 2022 Australian Open Water Championships. Athletes will be required to hand their accreditation pass to the technical official in the role of Clerk of the Course before they enter the water and must collect their pass again when exiting. All other accreditations are issued should spectators and participants need to be separated if restrictions change. At this stage there are no restrictions to movement around the event zones, except for the requirement to check in as above and to maintain physical distancing. In the instance that physical distancing is unachievable, masks must be worn.
Accreditation will be available for collection from 7.30am Friday 28 January, prior to the first on course training session, at the registration area located at Bindarra Reserve. Following this, accreditation can be collected during competition times.
