Rules For Club Records
CATEGORIES
Club Records will be recorded for MALE and FEMALE, OPEN and JUNIOR swimmers.
Note: A JUNIOR Record can only be claimed by a swimmer who is under 16
years of age on the day of the claimed record swim.
DISTANCES
Records can be claimed for the following distances:
| Freestyle | 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1500 metres |
| Backstroke | 50, 100 and 200 metres |
| Breaststroke | 50, 100 and 200 metres |
| Butterfly | 50, 100 and 200 metres |
| Individual Medley | 100, 200 and 400 metres |
POOL LENGTH
Short Course records - 25 metres
Long Course records - 50 metres
ELIGIBILITY
Records can only be claimed by swimmers who were members of Bracknell & Wokingham Swimming Club at the
time of the claimed record swim.
EVIDENCE
Records should be claimed by presenting the official times from a web site, an official results sheet or
an official entry card with the time endorsed by the Referee or Chief Timekeeper of the event (the
Referee of the event must be at least an ASA Registered Judge).
GENERAL NOTES
The Club will endeavour to identify records as they are achieved. However, the final responsibility lies
with the swimmer to check all records and, if necessary, contact the Webmaster as soon as
reasonably possible and in any event not later than 3 months from the date of the claimed record
swim.
Records can be claimed using times for “shorter distances” achieved from “longer events” or from relay events. In a relay only the first swimmer can claim a record and this is not nullified if the team is subsequently disqualified as a result of an infringement by another swimmer later in that race. Records will be recorded to 1/100th of a second and will not be accepted using converted times. Records can only be established in still water from events held under ASA, Welsh, Scottish or FINA rules.
Where possible the Results Coordinator, results@bwsc.org, will provide a report in the results section of the club’s website showing any records that were broken. Disputes over records will be notified to the Results Coordinator in writing and will be resolved by the Management Committee.
