Swim hat and timing chip

You will be given a coloured swim hat and a timing chip with a velcro strap to be placed around your ankle.  The swim hat allows the lane counters to identify you in your lane, you will return your swim hat at the end of the swim. Your timing chip will remain with you until the end of the event.

Swim Stroke

You must complete the swim in front crawl or breaststroke. You are not allowed to swim back stroke or butterfly.

Counting Lengths

It is your responsibility to count your lengths, although there are lane counters who will assist you. When you have 2 lengths remaining a pool float will be put in the water to notify you of this.

Overtaking

No overtaking mid-lane allowed. If you catch the person in front of you and wish to overtake, tap them on the foot so they know you wish to pass and then stay behind. If you are taped on the foot, you must stop at the end of that length and let them pass.
