Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
I missed the closing cut off date/time can I request a late entry?
Late entries are not permitted at SMNE meets regardless of the circumstance.
My swimmer doesn’t have the required QT can we still enter under a manual time?
In accordance with Championship rules all swimmers must have the relevant QTs to enter. Manual entries are not accepted for Summer Champs or Winter Champs meets. If your coach has determined you are suitable for the Distance meet you may discuss options with your coach who may get in touch with me.
Why won’t Swim Central let me enter even though my swimmer has a qualifying time?
Times used must be from an Approved and Verified Meet. Check to see if the green tick is under the column vrfd in Swim Central. Note: not all Club run meets are official for approved times and therefore cannot be used to enter official meets.
What time is my race and when will the timeline be published?
It is impossible to predict the time of a race prior to the meet closing as timing always depends on how many people enter a particular event. Timelines are published after the meet has closed. The timeline is a guideline only and subject to change.
How can I check my swimmer’s entries?
Log into Swim Central and either click on the Events section or Order History from your home page.
We can no longer attend, how do I scratch?

My swimmer is sick//injured can I request a refund?
You may request a refund if your swimmer is unable to attend for medical reasons however, you must email a medical certificate to meetdirector@smne.org.au as soon as you become aware or no later than 24 hours after the end of the meet. Medical certificates submitted after that will not be accepted and no refund will be given. Refunds must be requested via Swim Central PRIOR to the end of the meet.
At Long Course SMNE meets, meets are set up to accept LC times first (even if the SC time is faster than the LC time) but to allow SC times if no LC time is available. At Short Course Meets, meets are set up to accept SC times first (even if the LC time is faster than the SC time) but will allow LC times if no appropriate SC time is available.
Swim Central will take the guesswork out of qualifying times in that if Swim Central allows you to enter a meet the swimmer has an eligible approved time in the database. If there is no eligible approved time for that meet, Swim Central will not allow you to enter.
When will the results be available and where can I see them?
The results will be approved on Swim Central 24 to 72 hours following the end of the meet. They will never be approved the same day as the meet. Results on the Mobile phone app Meet Mobile are not official and subject to change.
What is Meet Mobile?
Meet Mobile is a mobile phone app and many meet results can be seen live on the app during the meet. The results on the app, however, are not official and subject to change.
I have a question not answered above, who do I contact?
