Message from Organiser (02 July 2007):

I know as team captains, some of you are preparing for finals this week, but I'm sure you have your swimming teams already organised, in training and on special diets to promote performance, so I thought I would email some info in advance to prime up your teams.

 

In past years, feelings have  run a bit high over the swimming as it is the last event before finals night and tensions mount for teams close on points. I have included the info below to try and make things as clear as possible.

 

1. Teams.

Ideally there should be four team members, one of which should be female. IF you only have 3 in a team, you can still enter, but you need to let me know as soon as possible before the event and  one of those 3 must be female. One team member will then volunteer / be nominated to swim twice. This is still better points wise than a no show. I also let the other teams know if there are only 3 on a team.

 

2. Waiver.

If you have swimmers who are not current members of the pool, they MUST sign the attached waiver for insurance purposes and return it to me before the event, otherwise they cant swim. (legal issue, not my decision).

 

3. Event.

Team members should be at the pool by 5.30, they can have a warm up before we begin.

The event will start with backstroke from the deep end, so the swimmers will start in the water. The order will be backstroke, breast stroke, front crawl and free style, with two lengths swum of each. Each team is timed.

The next team member MUST NOT start their entry dive into the water until the previous swimmer has touched the side. To be specific the toes must not leave the edge of the pool before the "touch",  other wise a 5 second penalty will be added to time. If swimmers prefer to start in the pool rather than dive, they are welcome to do so. They can enter the water before the previous swimmer has returned but cannot leave the bar until the "touch".

 

4. Heats v final.

Historically there have been  heats of 3 teams at a time and then a final of the fastest three, to line up with other events operating the heats & final system. However,  last year there were murmurs as to whether this was necessary and could we go by the time of the heats. I really don't mind either way, perhaps as team captains you could let me know if you have a preference.

 

5.Spectators.

Spectators are encouraged, all we ask is that all shoes are removed before entry to the pool area and a reminder that no drinks /glasses/bottles are allowed in the pool (apart from plastic bottles of water!).

 

I hope this is clear and that you haven't got information overload! Let me know if you want any more details on anything.

Other than that I look forward to receiving the names of your team members and their waivers before Thursday 12th.
Many thanks Nicola
