EASTERN REGION SWIMMING - RULES OF COMPETITION 2023

DISPUTES

A dispute Committee consisting of a principal, carnival coordinator and the relevant referee shall consider all disputes. The Team Manager (a teacher at the school) must lodge a written protest to the Carnival Convenor within 10 minutes of the conclusion of the event. It will be necessary to quote the event number, name and relevant heat, the lane in which the student swam and a brief summary of the concern. 

Correspondence re disputes will be between the Carnival Convenor or his/her representative and Team Managers only. Only the Carnival Convenor will communicate with the nominated referee for the event. The referee’s decision will be final. In the absence of a Referee, the Carnival Convenor will make the final decision.

COACHING / INTERFERENCE

Parents, coaches and unauthorised persons are not allowed poolside. Once competitors are in the hands of officials controlling the event, they shall not receive any coaching or advice. Penalty: Disqualification.

Parents and coaches are reminded that the designated officials have full control of events in progress. Harassment or unduly questioning of an official during the course of duty will lead to competitor disqualification. 

WARM UPS

Team Managers assume the responsibility of competitor warm-ups. Children will be allowed warm-up time in the pool until 9am. The Manning Aquatic Centre will be open for warmups at 8:30am.

STUDENT BEHAVIOUR

Competitors behaving inappropriately on the day may be disqualified from participation and selection.  All students are required to stay with their Team Manager, unless participating in an event.

MARSHALLING

STARTING – “ONE START RULE”

The order given by the starter shall be: a whistle blast, “ON YOUR MARK”, then the gun.

Any swimmer starting before the starting signal has been given, shall be disqualified. If the starting signal sounds before the disqualification is declared, the race shall continue and the swimmer or swimmers will be disqualified upon the completion of the race.

RELAYS – Safety

In the 4x50m freestyle relay events, swimmers 2 & 4 start at the shallow end of the pool. Due to the shallow depth of  the

PLACEGETTERS

At the completion of each race, competitors must remain in their lane until asked to clear the pool.
