Below are upcoming meets. If you want to enter them, you'll need your MSO Number. You can get it by going to the Masters Swimming Canada Website and putting in the exact info you gave the club when you joined. The two meets I would like to target for they are close by and only require a day of your time, are the All Out Swim and Thornhill Meets.
