Register at Midmar Dam on Saturday and Sunday at least an hour before you swim. Registration at the dam will open at 7am. Registration can be done on Saturday for the Sunday events at the dam from 1.00pm to 3.00pm only.
At registration collect your envelope, containing your timing chip and bar-coded tag. You will also receive a swimming cap corresponding to your batch colour.
TIMING CHIP
IMPORTANT – NO CHIP – NO RESULT.
LOST CHIPS WILL BE CHARGED AT R100.
The chip must be handed in at the finish, with your bar-coded tag! If you are swimming multiple events, you will retain the timing chip until your last swim.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Ensure that you have the correct CHIP allocated to you.
- Attach your CHIP to your ankle ONLY.
- DO NOT attach the CHIP to your wrist.
BARCODED TAG
This tag must be handed in at the finish as proof of finishing. Your tag has been coded with your details, as supplied on your entry form, so you must ensure that you hand it in at the end of the finish channel! You will be supplied with a safety pin to attach the tag to your swimsuit – it is suggested that you attach it to the left leg section of your swim suit and tuck it under the swim suit so that it can be easily removed at the finish.
