will have to be paid prior being able to nominate for meets.

For new members joining the Club mid-season (after December 31, 2014) the Club membership fee

will be reduced by the number of Club nights left. This reduction will apply only to the actual Club

fee not the QS/SA/BSA fee.

Junior Dolphins are for children aged 7 years and under who wish to join our club

Swimmers cannot participate in Club Nights or attend swim meets unless they are full financial

members of the Ferny Hills & Districts Swimming Club- exception to club nights by discretion of

Club Night Coordinator ( a trial club night is available with prior notice to club/club night

coordinator )

PARENTAL SUPERVISION

As your children’s safety is of paramount importance, parents of children involved in any activity

conducted by the club MUST either be present throughout the entire activity or arrange for

another adult to accept that responsibility. An adult must supervise swimmers under the age of

16 years. Should clarification be required regarding this requirement please contact a member of

the Management Committee.

GENERAL MEETINGS

The Ferny Hills & Districts Swimming Club Incorporated conducts general meetings on a monthly

basis. Your attendance at these meetings will greatly assist the administration of the club. The

4

venue for these meetings will be the Club Room at the Ferny Hills Pool. Time and Date of meetings

are to be confirmed and will be emailed out when finalised.

ELECTION OF CLUB OFFICALS

The positions held by all club officials are declared vacant for the 2015-2016 Season at the AGM of

the Ferny Hills & Districts Swimming Club Incorporated.

However, to ensure successful planning it is preferred to have what is termed a “rolling”

committee structure. This means that only some, never all, committee members stand down at

once. Resignations from current committee members and new nominations are called for and

have to be made in writing to the Secretary prior the AGM of the Ferny Hills & Districts Swimming

Club Incorporated. The date for the AGM (July/August 2015) will be advised closer to the time. We

would ask all parents to attend this meeting.

RESOLUTION

The committee encourages a certain amount of informality in relation to its business and its

communication with the Club Members; however serious complaints about club organisation

should be made in writing to the President for resolution at the next committee meeting. Club

Members are welcome to attend and we encourage members to attend committee meetings.

MEDIA

Any media communication is to be referred to the Management Committee. Any media articles

regarding the club or its members must be approved by the President and Management

Committee before it is submitted to the media.

CLUB NIGHT PROCEDURE

Your club is organised by the parents and past swimmers. Each club night we require a number of

volunteers to assist in various areas including timekeeping. We encourage parents to participate

in these functions allowing your children to reap maximum benefits from the club.

Although no previous experience is necessary, the club will provide adequate training. This

involvement provides an ideal opportunity to meet other parents in the club.

For all 50m and 100m events automatic nominations apply to all registered club swimmers. 200m

events must be nominated for by the swimmer (if eligible) and do not accrue points towards the

end of year points trophy. If swimmers are unable to attend Club Night it is their responsibility to

inform the Club Night Coordinator by Thursday night prior to Club Night and no later than

7.00pm. Further information is covered in the nomination email sent out prior to each Club Night.

Parents are responsible for their children’s nominations in each event.

No late nominations will be accepted.

5.30pm – 6.30pm Barbeque and Sausage Sizzle (as per parent roster)

6.30pm - 6.35pm Announcements

6.45pm Swimming Starts

Help by parents is essential for the smooth running of club nights.

SPECIAL POINTS

♦ Children will not be allowed to swim on a club night unless they are accompanied by an adult

who has accepted responsibility for their conduct and safety for the entire evening. An adult

must supervise swimmers under the age of 16 years.

♦ Swimmers new to the Club, who have met the Club’s distant qualifying times, can choose to

start in either the 25m or 50m races (Proof to Club Night Coordinator is required).

15

RACE PROCEDURE AND RULES

♦ MARSHALLING

Swimmers are to proceed to the designated marshalling areas when called and remain quiet.

The Marshall will call the swimmers name, race number and lane number, once only. The

Marshall will then direct swimmers to the grassed areas behind their designated starting

blocks, in their race number order. Misbehaviour and unnecessary noise in these areas is to be

avoided.

♦ STARTING

The Check Starter will call the swimmers name and designated race before each race. If you are

in the wrong lane or your name is not called, put up your hand to attract the Starters attention.

Once their race is called swimmers should step onto the first step of the block. When the

Referee blows his whistle the swimmers should step up onto the top of the block.

THERE MUST BE ABSOLUTE SILENCE AND NO MOVEMENT NEAR THE BLOCKS ONCE THE

REFEREES WHISTLE IS BLOWN.

The Starter will call the race distance and stroke followed by “TAKE YOUR MARKS”. All

swimmers will then move to the front of the block and take up their starting position. Once all

swimmers are still, the starting gun will sound to start the race.

For BACKSTROKE, ALL SWIMMERS must enter the pool feet first, and turn directly to the block

and take up their starting position.

THE ONE (1) START RULE APPLIES.

♦ FINISHING AND TURNING

to finish correctly in BREASTSTROKE & BUTTERFLY events both hands must contact the

wall/rope at the same time. In FREESTYLE & BACKSTROKE events, touching with one hand is

sufficient.

If you are unsure of correct procedure for a turn or touch, consult you Coach.

♦ EXITING OF POOL

Except for relays other than the final leg, swimmers shall not leave their lane or exit the pool

until the Referee’s whistle has sounded after the finish of the race. Swimmers must only exit

the pool via the side steps. Lanes 1-4 exit via the steps at Lane 1, Lanes 5-8 exit via the steps at

Lane 8. During relay swims, swimmers 1-3 may exit over their lane. Non-compliance with these

rules can result in DISQUALIFICATION.

THE REFEREE’S DECISION IS FINAL.

12.5m and 25m swimmers will not be disqualified for technical stroke infringements on a Club

Night, but will be spoken to about the problem by the Referee or Coach. All other swimmers

can be disqualified by the Referee for infringements of the Rules of Swimming.

♦ Club Night and Club Championships decisions can and may be altered if need be at the

discretion of our Coordinator and in consultation with President

16

CLUB NIGHT PROGRAM

Club Night events will be as per the Club Calendar on page 11. There will be a 12.5m (if applicable),

25m and 50m event for each stroke each club night. The order of swims will be dependent on the

distance events.

There will also be a 100m swim in a particular stroke each Club Night as well as a 200m swim.

You must nominate for the 200m event via email prior to Thursday 7.00pm to the Club Night

Coordinator.

To swim a 200m event, a swimmer must have at least qualified to swim in the 100m event in that

stroke.

SICKNESS POLICY

Swimmer and Parent/Guardian must approach the Club Night Coordinator, and then advise the

Marshalls, should the swimmer become sick or injured on the night. Once this has been noted, the

swimmer will be unable to compete for the remainder of the night.

AUTOMATIC NOMINATIONS

♦ All swimmers are automatically nominated for all strokes they are eligible to swim on Friday

night.

♦ If a swimmer is unable to attend it is their responsibility to contact the Club Night Coordinator.

♦ The closing time for withdrawal of nominations will be Thursday at 7.00pm.

♦ Swimmers who do not advise of their withdrawal prior to Thursday at 7.00pm and do not

swim in an event on the Friday will automatically have points deducted.

♦ If a swimmer nominates in a stroke and elects not to swim in that stroke without consulting

the Club Night Coordinator, one penalty point will be deducted from his/her accumulated

total for that stroke.

♦ Results will be emailed out to all club members.

♦ Only Ferny Swimming Club financial members who have competed in at least five (5) Club

Nights will be eligible to swim in the Club Championships.

17

GRADING OF SWIMMERS

Club events are based on a system of graded scratch races (swimming against those with similar

times irrespective of age). Points are allocated on basis of comparison with the swimmer’s own

best time.

Current members’ best time will be calculated from the previous season.

When a faster than best time is recorded, this time becomes the new best time.

Swimmers will automatically grade to the new distance on achieving the qualifying time on one

swim. This applies to all strokes including medley. Once a swimmer has qualified to swim a longer

distance they must continue to swim this distance.

MESSAGE FROM THE COACH

'It is that time of year again...' With the beginning of the 2014/2015 season it is time for some

more early morning starts and some long weekends out at Chandler. It is great to see the number

of returning Families after the huge success the club had last year. It is also great to see a number

of new families joining the club for this new season, I am confident in saying that we can offer a fun

and inviting environment for everyone.

This season we saw Ferny Hills being able to keep its position in Premier Division. As the Head

Coach it is still my priority to welcome all levels of swimmers into our club and to help make them

feel part of the overall team. Individual success will be praised evenly regardless of whether you

are a first time competitor or an Olympic champion. No accomplishment will be considered any

less important than another.

Ferny Hills Swimming Club prides itself on providing a fun team environment and it will strive to

offer this to each and every member again this year. By doing this, there is no doubt in my mind

that we will, can experience the same successes as last season.

To all the swimmers - enjoy all your racing and all your team and individual victories this season

To all the parents - enjoy all your sleep ins now because we are just getting started again.

Good Luck
