4 team members, at least one 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. If only two both can swim twice or one can swim 3.

The swimming event in the mini Olympics will be held on Wednesday the 21st September at 5.30pm. The pool will be open from 5.15pm to allow teams to practice. Can you please ensure you and your swimmers are familiar with the rules (full details below), in brief - 4 swimmers, one MUST be female, it’s a relay race with 2 lengths of each backstroke, breast-stroke, front crawl and freestyle.

Importantly, all swimmers must either be pool members or have brought along a completed copy of the attached waiver. This is for insurance purposes, and non-negotiable. To this end, could all team captains e-mail me the team line-up by midday tomorrow.

We plan on having three heats with two teams in each, but this may vary if some teams cannot compete. There is no final, time alone determines the points awarded.

Best of luck!

DETAILS

1. Teams

Ideally there should be 4 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.

2. Waiver.

If you have swimmers who are not current members of the pool, they will sign to sign a waiver on the night for insurance purposes, otherwise they can’t swim. Can you let me know the names of the individual swimmers in your team by midday tomorrow at the latest.

3. Event.

Team members should be at the pool by 5.30pm, they can have a warm up before we begin (pool will be open from 5.15).

The event will start from the deep end with backstroke, 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", otherwise 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.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!).

Let me know if you want any more details on anything. Once the event starts it is over pretty quickly so we should be done by 6.30!

I look forward to receiving the names of your team members and their waivers.

Many thanks

Amy
