Club Carnivals

Home > Club Carnivals

Certain carnivals throughtout the season are 'Selection Events' - where the club is represented by a team rather than swimmers nominating individually. We deem these events 'Club Carnivals'.

 

Selection Criteria

 

Selections are based on the personal best times obtained through club swims no more than four weeks prior to team selection.  In the case of carnivals that occur early in a season, personal best times from the last four weeks of the previous season or winter training may be used.
 

The Carnival Convenor shall obtain that list of club swimmers’ personal best times in each age group and for each stroke.
 

The team will comprise the required number of swimmers chosen from those available, commencing with the fastest times in each age group and for each stroke.
 

Each swimmer, unless circumstances prevent otherwise, shall swim a maximum of three individual swims in any carnival.
Swimmers from a particular age group must be considered for that age group in the first instance..

 
The selected team shall be discussed with the Head Coach who may adjust the team based on the following criteria:

 

  1. A swimmer’s non-attendance at training sessions.
  2. A swimmer not having enough recent club swims to gauge their competitiveness and consistency.
  3. A swimmer’s training program has in the Head Coach’s opinion, adversely affected that swimmer’s club times.
  4. A swimmer is not competent in a stroke.
  5. A swimmer’s recent illness or injury.
  6. A swimmer’s suspension due to behaviour.

The team will be posted on the Club notice board and web site no later than the Saturday one week prior to the carnival.  It is the swimmers’ responsibility to notify the Carnival Convenor if they are not available to swim in a carnival.

 
Any swimmer selected who fails to notify and does not compete in the nominated events may be excluded from selection in the next carnival.
 
If any swimmer posted as being selected is not available, the Carnival Convenor shall choose a replacement in accordance with these procedures and notify that swimmer of selection.
