Competitors must compete in their own age group. Competitors entered in any Open event may only enter other Open events or their respective age grouping in the case of Senior/Intermediate /Junior events. The age is taken as at 31/12/2022 i.e. the age the competitor turns in 2022.

RELAYS
In line with All Schools rulings , “Senior” relays, are now OPEN events . Swimmers may only swim in one relay by type. Eg A swimmer can only swim in one 4x50 Freestyle, one 4 x 50 Medley relay and one 6 x 50 Freestyle relay.

Exhibition Association Based Relays

In 2021 RAS and NCIS have the option of entering association based (rather than school-based) Relay teams as “exhibition” entries. Exhibition medals will be awarded however the team is ineligible to progress to the NSW All Schools Level. The top three school-based relay teams will be allocated medals and progress to the NSW All Schools Championships. e.g. If an association based team was to place second in the event, the first school team would receive gold medals, the association team would receive silver medals, the second placed school team would also receive silver medals, and the third placed school team would receive bronze medals

Please consider the following when entering Relays

Please ensure all Dates of Birth and Year Groups are entered and correct spelling for each student so they may legally have times verified by Swimming NSW.

Associations should send relay entry lists in correct swimming order when submitting entries.

On arrival, Association team managers need to make any adjustments to relay orders. The closing time for changes will be at the conclusion of the warm-up time, which will be 5.45pm. Teams who are found to be swimming out of nominated order will be disqualified.

At Marshalling, the lead off swimmer is to enter the designated marshalling area to be checked in. Once in this area, swimmers must remain seated as required by the Marshalls. Other relay members will be asked to wait in the designated area until called by the Check Starters.
