Rules of Competition

1.      When an event is called, proceed to the marshalling area underneath the grandstand in the centre (pool level).

You will then be told to move to the starting end of the pool. Event times are a guide only and events may be swum at an earlier time.

2.      At the completion of an event, competitors are to remain in the water until told to leave the pool. Competitors must leave from the side of the pool.

3.      Touch pads will be used, so there will be no discrepancies between times and places.

4.      A swimmer must swim in his/her age group (the age turned in 2020), except when there is no event for that age; i.e. 400m and 200m IM or in 4 x 50m Freestyle.
