2. Social Distancing/Marshalling: There will be designated gathering areas for each club in the stands. Clubs are asked to keep an appropriate distance (no less than 6 feet) between other clubs. Bleachers will be placed between the competition pool and dive tank. Swimmers are expected to report to the bleachers for marshalling prior to their race. 
3. Masks - All swimmers, coaches and volunteers will be required to wear masks at all times in Saanich Commonwealth Place, except when actively eating or drinking water. No food on deck. Swimmers ARE required to wear a mask while travelling from the stands to the marshalling area and up until their race. Swimmers do not have to wear a mask when travelling from their race to the warm down pool. Swimmers should have a mask on BEFORE travelling back to the stands.
4. Traffic Flow: Swimmers walking to marshalling or to the warm down pool should travel clockwise around the pool deck. Swimmers travelling from the warm down pool back to the stands may travel counterclockwise so as to limit the traffic behind the timing area. Use only the Northwest and Team Changerooms/Washrooms.
