Long Distance Waitlist:

Officials and Volunteers:

Poolside Passes:
We will be using the Swim England poolside pass system, that is used for National competitions, for coaches, team managers and chaperones. The pass should be downloaded at home and brought with you to the meet. We will provide wallets and lanyards. All coaches, team managers and chaperones must be registered with Swim England and have recorded their relevant qualifications in the Swim England systems. We would recommend that passes are applied for early to ensure any missing data is provided ahead of the meet. No-one will be admitted to poolside without a pass.
- Chaperones: If a chaperone pass is required, the club (Chairman/Secretary) needs to email Martyn Hudson at Swim England (martyn.hudson@swimming.org) with the members details (name and number) and request they be added to the list of Chaperones. Once added they remain on the list until removed.
- Coaches, Team Managers, Chaperones: The pass can be accessed through the member’s individual page on the Swim Engalnd website. Log on using the following path www.swimmingresults.org > members > English/Welsh Member Options and enter your user ID and password to access your membership page. Once onto your individual membership page, select the option “Purchase accreditation for events click here.” You will then see a list of all the Counties and Regions using the on-line pass system. Select the Surrey County Championship event for the day you wish to attend and print your pass at home. You will be charged £5 per day and must pay on-line. If you are attending the whole championship, you will need four separate passes. If any of the requirements are in red, you must correct the data in the relevant Swim England system before you can print your pass. You will be able to purchase your pass from 1 January 2026.
- Level 2 Teachers should submit their poolside pass request by completing the form at this link. The cost of the pass is £5 per day. We will charge your club separately for any L2 Teacher passes ordered.
Field of Play volunteers should submit their poolside pass request by completing the form at this link.
Technical Officials must show their licence to gain access to the venue. Any technical officials in training must apply for a Field of Play pass.
