WEEKLY TRAINING

Tracey Waters is our head Coach (0401253642) and any swimmer interested in training will need to contact Tracey for assessment and advice on the various training programs on offer. Fees are paid direct to Tracey for the Coaching sessions.

Training usually involves a minimal of 3 compulsory sessions per week and starts at 6.00 am and 4.00pm weekdays and 6.00am on Saturday mornings.

FRIDAY NIGHT POINT SCORE

The club’s main purpose is to promote and advance swimming within the area, not just to provide a facility for elite swimmers. Our very successful Friday night point score is a great opportunity for swimmers of all ages to race in a non-competitive atmosphere. All races are based on the swimmer’s individual best times. Not only do the kids have fun but it is also an opportunity for parents to socialise in a relaxed environment. At the completion of each night’s events we have our famous BBQ, while the canteen is also open selling lollies, drinks, hot dogs, tea and coffee.

Don’t forget we need parents to help on the BBQ while events are being conducted. When the call goes out for help, please offer your services!

ENTRY CARDS

These are presently under review. Each swimmer (to date) is required to fill out an entry card for each swim. Each card costs 50 cents, which goes to cover the cost of pool hire imposed on the club by Wollongong City Council.

All entries must be in no later than 15 MINUTES prior to the commencement of point score and can be placed in the entry box in the clubhouse during the preceding week. Late entries will no longer be accepted after this deadline. Late entries hold up proceedings which eventually costs the club money in additional pool hire costs. Absolutely no exceptions!

Starting Times this season is 7p.m with entry lodgment closing at 6.45pm

Two separate point scores operate each Friday night. Swimmers are allowed a maximum of 3 swims per night. Don’t forget that to be eligible to compete in the Friday Night Point score you must be a financial member of Corrimal Amateur Swimming Club Inc.

RAFFLE

A raffle is also held each Friday night and the proceeds from this also going towards the cost of the pool hire.

No.1 Pointscore

You are allowed a maximum of two swims in the No 1 point score each Friday night. Freestyle is swum each week followed by an off stroke such backstroke, breaststroke, etc in the following distances. 12.5m, 25m, 50m and 100m. For the younger swimmers we also have 12.5m kickboard. Trophies are awarded to both male and female swimmers regardless of the distance swum.

No 1 point score age groups:

(6yrs & under)   (7/8yrs)   (9/10yrs)   (11/12yrs)   (13/14yrs)   (15yrs & over)

No 2 Pointscore

You are allowed one swim in the No 2 Point score each Friday night. The No 2 point score is based on 200 and 400m distances only. No age groups operate in this point score, points are awarded individually. Trophies will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd combined male or female in No 2 Point score.

Additional Pointscore Information

• For point score purposes, the age of the swimmer is based on their age as at 1 November 2007.
   
• All point score swims are based on a scratch start, i.e. off the hooter. While there is no handicapping the club uses the previous best times of all swimmers to correctly seed swimmer into the appropriate heat & lane.
   
• Points are awarded for improvement in time in all events and distances swum as well as for starting and finishing a race.

Points Table

Points will not be awarded if a swimmer is absent except under the following circumstances:

• The swimmer is representing the club at a higher level of competition e.g. Interclub, Country, State or National Championships.
   
• An immediate member of the swimmer's family, who is a club member, has to attend the swim meet.

To avoid loss of points the swimmer will receive equal best points plus start and finish points. The non-attending swimmer will receive start and finish points only. The swimmers must notify the point score coordinator in writing within two weeks of their absence.

Special Events

HANDICAP RACE - handicap start

This freestyle event is open to all club members and is swum over 50m. You first must nominate a time with the point score co-coordinator, which you intend to swim during the event. *To progress through the different heats you must swim within 2 seconds either side of that time without breaking, and finish in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. The overall winner is the swimmer who touches first without breaking that time.

BRACE RELAY - handicap start

Like the handicap race, this is a freestyle event but is swum over 100 metres with two swimmers completing a 50m leg each. They must swim within 4 seconds of their joint nominated time. *The same rules apply as with the handicap races.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS

To be eligible to swim in the Club Championships you must be a financial member of the club & you must have swum at least six point score nights (not including country or state representative swims) prior to the closing date of entries to the championships, i.e. you must have attended at least six Friday nights!

CARNIVALS

Corrimal Swim club Members compete very successfully all year round in the various Regional and Metropolitan Carnivals:

• The South Coast and Tablelands (SCAT) ASA requires that all entries be submitted on entry cards, pink for girls and blue for boys.
• These cards can be obtained from the race secretary who can assist you in their completion.
• “A.S.A. number” refers to the number each swimmer is given when registering.
• “Entry time” is the previous best time swum for that particular event by the swimmer at a Carnival. It is used to grade swimmers into heats.

NOTE

• It is a good idea to keep a record of each swimmer’s times in the swimming logbook or a notebook so this information is readily available.
• All carnival entries and entry fees MUST be handed in by the nominated closing date.
• No late entries will be accepted.
• Full Club uniform is compulsory at all Carnivals.
