Season race program

A significantly revised 2023-24 season program is currently being considered and will be available here prior to commencement of the season.

General Information

Any member may compete in the 15m or 25m events but unless under 8 years for 15m or 11 years for 25m must progress to next longer distance after twice breaking the following time limits: 15 secs for 15m free, 25 secs for 25m free, 20 secs for 15m other strokes, 28 secs for 25m other strokes.

Championship

All financial ‘first claim’ members may compete in championships for which they are eligible, but will be excluded from holding the title, or receiving the trophy if they fail to compete in races on four separate club swimming days during the season, other than championship days.

A swimmer’s age on the 1^st Jan 2024 will determine the appropriate age group for the 2023/2024 season, and proof must be made available on request. For further rules refer to the rule sheet.

Special Trophy Races

Entrants must have swum on two separate Saturdays in other than time trials, within 6 weeks before the race, apart from the MRS R. DOUGLAS TROPHY in November (when only one swim other than a time trial is necessary). For further rules refer to the rule sheet. Children must try their best at all times – any instances of handicap manipulation will result in disqualification or adjustment of time by race officials. Such rule violations will also forfeit the swimmer’s eligibility to receive any sportsmanship awards.

Tidal Pools Carnival

This annual inter-club competition is hosted alternately by our club and the Northbridge Amateur Swimming Club, usually in late February/early March. This season the event will be hosted by The Spit at Balmoral Baths on March 3 (TBC).
