IGSSA CARNIVAL REGULATIONS
AGE as at 1st January 2009. There is no limit to the total number of swims per individual, however swimmers are not permitted to swim in more than one age group per stroke, and in either the 100m freestyle or 200m individual medleys. Swimmers are also limited to one freestyle relay and one medley relay.
All strokes must be correctly performed in accordance with the rules of SWIM SA.
Warm-up Procedures: The warm-up commences at 11:00am. It would be appreciated if all schools could ensure an adult supervises their swimmers during warm-up to ensure the following procedures are followed to ensure the best possible conditions for all swimmers and prevent any collision injuries.
IMPORTANT – Lanes 0 to 3 are to be used for dive starts and backstroke starts and sprints to 25m only. Lanes 4 to 9 are to be used for general warm-up only – entry into the water is to be feet first pin drop entry and swimmers must circle the lanes. Swimmers are not to stop at the mid-point of lanes and should refrain from holding onto lane ropes.
Marshalling: Remember your lane number and event number. In all cases your lane number will remain the same throughout the day. Listen carefully to the announcer’s call for time of marshalling of your event and to the Chief Marshal in the marshalling area.
Lane draw: You will have the same lane all carnival. All Schools are in the ‘Shield’ comp this year. The lane draw has been allocated based on last year’s results. In future years, the lanes will be rotated.
Lane 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9Conc / Ann / Sey / Pem / Wal / Wild / Imm / St P / West / Sco
Please note: competitors are asked to report to marshals in the holding bay area when their event is called by the announcer (this is outside the Southern side of the pool).
Start: There will be no introduction of swimmers prior to the event. For freestyle, butterfly and breaststroke, on the Referee’s whistle step onto the starting block. On ‘take your mark” move quickly into your starting position (at least one foot must be at the front of the block) and remain steady. Do not move until you hear the electronic beeper.
For backstroke, on the Referee’s whistle enter the water and hold the starting handles. Keep your toes under the water level. On ‘take your mark’ pull yourself into the starting position and wait for the electronic beeper.
Swimmers will be introduced once the race is in progress.
Finish: After the completion of your race, remain in the water in your lane until the Referee’s whistle is sounded and LEAVE THE POOL BY THE SIDE, DO NOT CLIMB OVER THE STARTING END. Times will be decided by the middle time of the 3 timekeepers.
Relays: Four swimmers compete in a relay, the Medley relay is swum as follows: Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly then Freestyle.
Electronic Scoreboard: This will be used throughout the carnival to update school scores.
Disputes: Any disputes over placings or times MUST be directed through school sport coordinators.
Entry:please ensure students are respectful to those at Westminster who are in class. Positions in the stands will be allocated to each school. Please ensure you remain in that area.
A seating area has been allocated to each school and this will beclearly indicated once you arrive. This has been rotated from last year, and we will do this on a yearly basis.
All stands are to be left in a cleanand tidy state after use and all rubbish put into the bins provided. All schools are asked to ensure that their spectator area has been cleaned.
Please do not stand on the seats. Stairways should be kept clear at all times.
Change rooms are available and will be patrolled. Please do not leave any valuables in change rooms.
This year a break will appear in the program to ensure the swimmers get a rest. The 15-20min break will be directly after the backstroke races (therefore the Freestyle and Backstrokes are complete).
We are at a school location, with classes still occurring in the gym etc, so all areas other than the pool and changeroom/toilets are strictly out of bounds.
Pool staff will see to any first aid situation that may arise.
Events will not be delayed due to the lateness of a competitor. Schools are encouraged to ensure students bring their own food where practicable.
