Our Rules and Policies
Club Race Rules are the same as for other meets a swimmer may enter during the year. This helps younger swimmers to gain confidence. Competitors must follow the procedures below:
- Ensure you arrive at pool early enough (6pm) to check your entries are correct and you are entered in your nominated events.
- Respond to your marshalling calls immediately and remain in the Marshalling Area until the start of your race.
- Notify the Club Race Secretary immediately if a decision is made to withdraw from any event(s)
- Be in a position to respond immediately to the Check Starter prior to each event being contested
- Be standing behind your allocated block ready for your start (goggles and cap on and costumes adjusted, etc.) by the time swimmers from the previous race are advised to leave the water. The Starter will not hold up a race for swimmers not ready for the start.
- Take up starting position quickly and remain steady for the start, thus avoiding time-consuming false starts. A false start will result in disqualification.
- Remain in the water at the end of the race until advised and then leave the water immediately via the side of the pool.
- Request your time from the Timekeeper before quickly leaving the area. Results available on meet mobile
- Do not address queries regarding your race result to the Timekeeper. All queries should be addressed to the Club Race Secretary.
