Message from
Organiser Last Year (19 June 2008): As you know, the swimming event is
in a fortnight - Thurs 03 July 2008 at 5.30. I am sending this out in
advance so that you can get your teams
organised and get any non pool members to sign the waiver and return to me
before the event. As stated in the rules this is a legal issue, not one of my
choosing. Just a reminder that teams are
made up of 4 of which one must be
female. If you can only get 3 (one must be female) you may still take part
but one member will have to swim twice. A team of 3 is still better than a no
show. Please also let me know if you only have 3 in a team. There will be heats of 3 teams and
a final. Could you let me know teams asap
and return any waivers to me, by Monday 30th June AT THE LATEST. There is comprehensive info on the
mini-o swimming web page, but if you have any other queries please get in
touch. All the best, Nicola Nicola Bixby 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 the organiser know by email 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. The organiser
will 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 waiver above (link) for
insurance purposes and return it to the organiser 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. In 2007 a decision was
made to just award final Mini-O points on the heat times. The organiser will decide on the
night which format to adopt 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!). |
