Meet Selection
Swimming Meets Entry Requirements:
Selection Policy (2024/2025):
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.
We would also like to highlight that representing GIS is an important factor for the awarding of the Performer of the Year Award, for swimming, at the annual Secondary School Sports Awards Ceremony. We will consider a student's contribution to the GIS team in the key swim events, which are: AIMS Secondary Competition, PRAKL, SEASAC, and AIMS Swim Series Finals. We all want the GIS team to be successful and as such we would expect all swimmers to be available for these events.
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 take 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.
