As many of Alberta’s swimmers and clubs have returned to training after an extended break, the next step is for swimmers to test their fitness and training.  Swim Alberta has been working on providing solutions for swimmers while understanding that many facilities are not yet booking events. One solution for Alberta’s swimmers is the ‘Racing Unplugged’ format of the Virtual Racing Series.

The virtual series for the fall includes a mid-cycle racing opportunity and a finale, both of which will include individual age rankings as well as club rankings by team size.

The dates to compete in each virtual race are listed below. Rankings will be posted approximately one week after each closing date.  Draw prizes will be awarded for participating swimmers.  Competitive registration is required to participate in the virtual racing series.
