CARNIVAL RULES

At Helensburgh Public, we endeavour to encourage children to attempt events that

challenge their ability but still provide for the weaker swimmers. For this reason, inFREESTYLE races, children gain 1 house point for each length of the pool they swim. That

is two house points for swimming 50 metres & one point for entering the 25 metres &

wading race. In the 100m F/s they gain 4 points for completing the event.

The Dept of Education now requires that children who are weak or non-swimmers be

clearly identified. Children who are identified as such will be required to wear a distinctive

wrist band and have event entry restrictions placed upon them.

While all children are encouraged to test their swimming ability by entering races thereare now entry and swimming restrictions according to a childs swimming ability. These will

be;-NON-SWIMMER May only enter wade event

Must stay in shallow water.

WEAK SWIMMER May enter wade event or 25 m age race.

Must be near edge in deep water

AVERAGE SWIMMER May enter 25 metres or 50m events.

CAPABLE SWIMMER May not enter 25m race.

Children are not required to dive in at the start of a race and may stop during the race to

regain their breath or energy.

In all other events timed finals are used, the winner is determined by the fastest time

swum.

Please note BUTTERFLY is a complicated & demanding event, especially over 50 metres.Therefore only children who are aware of the stroke requirements & have been taught to

do the stroke properly should compete in this event.

While we encourage children to enter the 200m medley it is again a very strenuous event &

should only be entered by children who can comfortably, and competently, swim 50 metres

in all 4 strokes. Children not swimming the INDIVIDUAL breaststroke or butterfly events

will not be permitted to enter the Medley unless they have spoken to the Carnival Convener

beforehand.

Please ensure your child understands whether they should enter these 2 events.

Disqualification of children is upsetting to both children & teachers.

Convener:- Ms Anne-Maree Connolly
