2024 - 2025 Swim Meet Listing on the RTR

With this latest communication, Swimming Canada has confirmed that listing (advertising) meet information for the 2024-2025 season on the RTR system will be transferred to the REMS system.

Read the bulletin for full details on conditions for listing meets. The information is also available in the Sanctioning Requirements Bulletin.

Officials and Volunteers Registration on the REMS system

See new bulletin HERE. Information will be updated in this bulletin as it becomes available. It is also outlined in the pdf officials bulletin.

Sanctioning Requirements for 2024-2025 season

See bulletin HERE and also in the pdf Ontario officials bulletin. Some significant changes to eligibility and sanction deadlines are outlined.

Sanction Applications for the 2024-2025 season

We hope the above topics will help alleviate the anxiety with sanction application deadlines and officials and volunteer registration in September as we all learn the new REMS system.

As usual, sanction applications can only occur once the club has affiliated for the season. The Affiliation and Registration Guide will be sent to clubs in late July detailing the procedures to be followed.

Sanction applications for meets taking place in September will not be permitted. This includes In House / time trials.

Early October meets will be a challenge for both the host club but also attending clubs as they learn the new REMS system and get coaches and swimmers registered.

Of note: Meet Package wording will be updated in August. Meet Managers will need to update their meet packages accordingly prior to the sanction applications in order to speed up the review process. Meet Managers will find updated information HERE mid to late August.
