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.

The usage of lanes 2, 7 & 8 will change. Up until 15 minutes before the end of Warm Up they are reserved as a circle swimming lane. For the last 15 minutes they are reserved for dive sprints and walk backs and turn practice as per the Lane 1 instructions.

Lanes 3 to 6 are reserved throughout the whole of the warm up period as circle swimming lanes.

Warm-Up will end at 1:45pm.
