Hi,
On the lens page, 7-11 yo kids swim will be at IRC. On the registration page, it will be at HSC.
Please clarify.

Thank you for your interest in the Triathlon. The deadline for registration was yesterday. We have to close registration to allow enough time for our preparations this weekend.

There are a lot of logistics that goes into preparing for the event and the team needs an appropriate amount of time to setup each participant in the system and prepare for our expected participants.
