Munster Minor Schools Championships 2023/2024
October 15, 2023
Hi all,
Attached are the details for the Munster Minor Schools competition which will take place on Sunday October 15th in UL.
Please note, the process for entry has changed this year. Entries for swimmers who are members of a club and have a Swim Ireland ID will be done via the club for individual races and either via the school or by 1 representative from the relay team for relays.
If your swimmer would like to take part in the competition I would appreciate it if you could confirm via ClubZap by next Friday September 22nd. I will also need you to send me an email with the name of the school your swimmer attends as this will need to be included as part of the entry.
RELAY ENTRIES – should be entered by the school or 1 representative from the relay team on the jotform link – https://form.jotform.com/230314386299360
If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks
Sinead
