Championships Qualifying Times
Our two long distance championships are still to come. Remember to qualify for the 800m Freestyle (17th December) & 1500m Freestyle (18th March) you must have swum under the qualifying times this season prior to the Championship being swum.
The qualifying times for these Championships are:
800m – 6.45:00 in the 400m Freestyle this season
1500m – 6.30:00 in the 400m Freestyle this season
If you are planning to swim in these Championships make sure you have swum your qualifying 400m Freestyle. There are 3 more 400m Freestyle graded race swims still to come before the 800m Freestyle Championships.
Number of Swims Allowed
A reminder that there are limits to the number of swims allowed each week, depending on whether a Championship is being swum. The limits to the number of swims are:
No Championship being swum:
Swimmers can compete in a maximum of three (3) graded races.
Championship being swum:
Swimmers can only compete in two (2) graded races on those days when Age Championship events are held, except, on those days where the Championship age precludes a swimmer from competing in the championship. Where the swimmer is precluded from swimming in the Championship event due to their age they may swim in three (3) graded races.
