2020 OLOL Swimming Carnival

Nominating & Eligible Swimmers

Eligible Swimmers:

The Carnival is for children in Grades 3-6 ONLY.

All students in grade 3 who are born in 2012, depending on numbers, will participate in the 2011 (9 year’s) category. However, as they are not of appropriate age, they will not be eligible for age championship points.  As with Cross Country and Athletics, there will not be an age championship for these students, nor will records be kept.  They will simply be participating in this carnival to provide them with a valuable experience and to gain participation house points.

Please refer to the table below for information relating to the correct age group your child belongs to.

Event Nomination:

Nominations will be taken in PE lessons.  It is expected that all children in Grades 3-6 nominate themselves for at least one event.  Less confident swimmers will be able to use a noodle or kickboard if necessary. In this case it would be best for them to nominate for the 25m Freestyle. 

A nomination confirmation note will be sent home in week 7. This will also include a consent form.  Please make sure you check your child’s nominations carefully; no changes will be made on the day.

On the Day

Getting To & From the Pool:

There will NOT be any bus travel provided.  Students will need to be dropped directly to the Glennie Aquatic Centre between 8:00-8:30am.  Please do not drop your child/ren before this time. 

Likewise, children will need to be picked up from the Glennie Aquatic Centre at approximately 2:45-3:00pm.    All after school care students will be walked back to school.

Please utilise the drop off zone in Vacy Street.

Morning Tea & Lunch:

Students will be required to bring their own morning tea and lunch.  There will NOT be a canteen. Don’t forget to bring a water bottle also.

Legal Stroke Actions & Disqualifications

• In 50m and 100m events, except for the 8 years category, students will be judged and disqualified if their stroke does not meet the appropriate standard. As points gained from these events go towards age championship tallies, it is important that only legal stroke actions are awarded. 
• 8 years events and all 25m events will not be judged in this way.
