Selection Policy (2026/2027):
Only students who do train at school Dragons squads will be selected. This is a requirement of all students representing all Dragons sports.
Swimmers who train outside, in clubs (exclusively) must attend one session per week to remain in the Dragons Swimming Squad and have the rights to be selected for Swim Meets.
If a swimmer misses 3 sessions during the year, for unjustified reasons (only official certificates and medical certificates will be accepted), they will be excluded from being selected for any swim meet.
All marks to be taken into consideration must have been obtained representing GIS Dragons (no club participation marks will be taken into consideration), and according to the Dragons Team Manager Database (3 months max for time prior to selection)
Times recorded out of GIS Dragons Squads will not be taken into consideration for selection criteria.
Swimmers can be registered under their requested seed times for swim meets. The seed times must be provided by email before the entries deadline.
Where there are max squad size restrictions, then ability over a number of events will be a deciding factor in selection and not just a single fastest time.
