Competitions will begin at 4:15 pm (The race meet can start earlier if all teams present and prepared)

Swimmers can only compete in a maximum of 6 events.

They should also be in the correct age group with ages as of 1st January 2023.

Example – U16 means you must be 15 – Jan 1st birthday means you’re in the next age grouping.

A Swimmer must only swim in ONE event per stroke and can only compete in ONE Freestyle Relay and ONE Medley Relay.

EXAMPLE A competitor who is U15 could swim in the following:
U15 Freestyle
U16 Breaststroke
U15 Backstroke
Open Butterfly
U15 Freestyle Relay
Open Medley Relay

 

This would mean each school must have a minimum of 16 swimmers competing. 

It is expected that Schools will swim competitors in the correct order of ability.

Swimmers can swim up and age bracket but not down.

 

EXAMPLE U/14 50 FREESTYLE B Poorest Swimmer
U/14 50 FREESTYLE A Best Swimmer

 

POINTS

INDIVIDUAL: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

RELAYS: 16, 12, 8, 4

 

If there is a dead heat in any race, both swimmers will receive full points.

Host pools should send through final scores once the meet has finished.
