Warm-Up Guidelines
In the interest of swimmers safety, the following general pool procedures for the Competition Pool must be observed
throughout the meet:
All lanes in the Competition Pool, with the exception of lane 1 are NO DIVING, with entry to the lane “feet first,
from a sitting position”. Swimmers can only push start, and should observe a “keep left” rule at all times.
Lane 1 (Start End) is reserved throughout the whole of the warm up period for dive sprints and walk backs. Swimmers
must clear the lane immediately, and must use caution when doing a Backstroke start.
Lane 8 will be available for warm-up and swim down for the duration of the meet. During the meet, strokes in Lane 8 will be restricted to Freestyle and Breaststroke.
Warm-Up will end at 10:50am.
