Out of curiousity - what divisions will be the teams from overseas be in? Are they all mens teams like the last few years?

I mentioned it to the NZ girls when I was over at the Trans Tasmans. I hope they send a team! We're in the process of sending out formal invitations to the International teams, so we'll keep you all posted.

FYI the competition will be held at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre http://www.msac.com.au/
This is one of the venues used at this year's FINA World Championships. We have booked the main indoor competition pool. Teeams intending on competiting should also be aware that the Australian Tennis Open will be on at the same time, so you will have to organise your accommodation soon!

Belle wrote that men need to wear vests but women do not - does this mean we (women) can wear normal bathers in our state colours or are you enforcing the 80% of the torso covered rule.

I'm just a bit confused because this wasn't said

The 1ns that Vic and NSW had for nationals cover 80% of torso. If they did not we would have to ware vests!
Cheers

so you're saying we have to wear vests or some suit of catsuit? (to abide by the 80% rule)

Wouldn't that suck!
