Selection of swimmers for this weekend camp will be based upon the following criteria:

Should fewer then 30 swimmers register, the KSS will notify NWO Regional Teams who do NOT have swimmers qualified to participate in the camp; these teams will be invited to send their TWO most suitable swimmers to the camp. This will ensure that we have as many NWO Regional Teams as possible represented and benefiting from this weekend camp.
