WYCOMBE SUMMER LONG COURSE INVITATION MEET

Competition Rules and Information
The competition will be held under Swim England Laws & Regulations and Swim England Technical
Rules of Racing. The meet is planned to be run in accordance with the Swim England Return to
Competition guidance version 2 (published 18th May). If the Swim England guidance is revised before
the meet, some aspects of these conditions may also be revised accordingly and re-published on the
club website no later than 28th June 2021.

COVID MEASURES & VIDEO BRIEFING
We will publish details of the COVID risk mitigation measures in place for the meet (such as one-way
flows etc) on our website no later than the 28th June 2021 and will host a live online video briefing call
for swimmers and officials at 8pm on Weds 30th June to explain the measures. A recording of the
briefing will be posted on our website on the 1st July. We expect all swimmers to attend the live
call or view the recording before attending the meet.

POOL PARAMETERS
The pool is 50 metres long with eight lanes. Anti-turbulence lane ropes and electronic time-keeping
will be used. (There will be no swim-down pool available).

ENTRY PROCEDURE
Entry will be to clubs by invitation only.

Invited clubs may enter by submitting a consolidated club entry Hy-Tek file through the Online Entry
form link at www.wycombe-swimming.org.uk

The club entry Hy-Tek file is uploaded when the Entry Application Form is completed. Payment
instructions will be provided in the application form. Payments should include club code and ‘SLCM.’

Entry fees are £7.50 per event.

Wycombe swimmers must enter through the Team Unify system to ensure club approval.

Club entries will be processed based on a pre-allocated proportion of swimmers per club. If it is
necessary to filter the swimmer entries, they will be accepted for all their entered events or none,
based on the capacity in the session. However, entries will not be processed until both the Hy-Tek
entry file and the online Entry Application Form have been submitted and payment has been received.
If payment is not received within a reasonable period, the entry will be discarded.

Please note that Swim England Rankings may reject Meet results containing database
errors. The errors are often in the accuracy of the entrant's name, the official club name
and date of birth. As recommended by the Rankings Department, all entries will be
validated using the online entry tools available at www.swimmingresults.org.

V 1.0                                                                                  Page 5 of 10
WYCOMBE SUMMER LONG COURSE INVITATION MEET

It is therefore recommended that Clubs should use these tools to validate their entries
prior to submission. Entries that are found to contain errors may be rejected.

ENTRIES CLOSE
Entries will close at midnight 14th June 2021, or earlier if all invited clubs have submitted their
entries.

Accepted Entries will be published on the Club website not later than 21st June 2021.

Entries may be withdrawn (with refund) up to the meet entry closing.

REFUNDS
Where a refund is due to withdrawal and not part of the Promoter’s obligations (e.g. cancellation of
meet, over subscription and scratches), refunds will be subject to a £15 administration charge. With
the exception of withdrawals due to injury or illness, no refunds for withdrawals will be made after the
meet entry closing, which may be earlier than the initially published closing date if the meet fills sooner.

Withdrawals due to injury or illness incurred after event entry, may be made up to the day before the
gala. Full refunds (no administration fee) will be provided on receipt of proof of injury or illness through
a doctor’s/medical certificate or similar.

HYGIENE AND HEALTH RESTRICTIONS
We may require accepted swimmers to complete an online health declaration prior to attending the
meet.

All participants (i.e., swimmers, coaches, team managers, officials and volunteers) should not attend if
they are ill or have symptoms of or have tested positive for coronavirus. If they are required or
instructed to isolate for any reason (whether or not they have tested negative) they must not attend.

The Club reserve the right to check attendees’ temperatures and exclude anyone they suspect of being
unwell.

Attendees will be asked to comply with a number of restrictions in order to maintain social distancing
during the meet. These will include the use of allocated swimmers “home” areas in the sports hall,
one way circulation routes and restrictions on the number of coaches poolside at one time (alternative
space will be provided for coaches).

Hygiene is a priority and all attendees will be required to use hand sanitiser on entering the building

WYCOMBE SUMMER LONG COURSE INVITATION MEET

There will be an organised sign-in procedure to ensure we know who has attended and you may be
required to additionally sign into the Leisure Centre.

Failure to comply with the required procedures will lead to swimmers being asked to leave the building
and meet. In this case refunds will not be provided.

SIGN-IN
The meet requires all swimmers to sign in on arrival for each session of swimming.

Swimmers must SIGN-IN before EACH session.
Sign-in will close at the commencement of the first warm-up for EACH session (either
boys or girls).

CHANGING AREAS
Changing rooms will not be open for changing. Athletes are required to arrive and leave changed; dry
robes and swim towels are recommended. The toilets must not be used for changing. Those with
additional needs should contact the promoter to ensure accommodations can be made.

seating via a public corridor. Therefore please ensure you have suitable towels, clothing and pool
shoes to wear on leaving the area, outdoor shoes may not be used.

WARM UP
Swimmers will be required to do stretches and land warm up in their allocated space in the sports hall.
Warm up equipment shall not be used. There will not be an option for coached land work in the sports
hall.

Pool warm up will be limited by social distancing to strict numbers per lane and swimmers and coaches
must obey the directions of the warm up officials. Dive start practice will not be available in order to
prevent queuing at the blocks.

SPECTATORS
No spectators will be allowed to attend. We aim to provide a live video streaming service to allow
spectators to follow the racing if technically feasible.

CAR-PARKING
‘Pay and Display’ car parking is available at the Leisure Centre. At the time of publishing conditions,

HEALTH AND SAFETY
No outdoors shoes to be worn on the poolside. No large bags are allowed poolside. Swimmers are
asked to ensure they wear appropriate footwear and clothing when on the balcony or reception area.

The pool depth is 2m and the blocks are 75cm above the edge. If you are unable to execute a
competent racing dive do not use the starting blocks at any time during this swim Meet. A competent
racing dive is defined as in the Swim England Competitive start award; each swimmer is required to
hold one of these. It is the Coach and/or Team Managers responsibility to ensure that this is the case
for all swimmers intending to execute a racing dive. No swimmer should topple into the water in the
event of a false start - a proper shallow dive must be performed.

Further event information including any health and safety guidance resultant from our risk assessments
will be made available to participants closer to the event. Please ensure you read the information and
utilise for your club planning and risk assessment.

POOLSIDE ACCESS PASSES
Passes are required for all non-swimmers accessing poolside or changing rooms and may be picked up
from the sign-in desk before entering the pool. This includes all coaches, team managers and
chaperones. Passes are required for each individual in a session. Where different team members are
attending different sessions, passes may be transferred to other users with permission of the meet
organisers, but all users must have valid Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks with their club.

WYCOMBE SUMMER LONG COURSE INVITATION MEET

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILMING
Events will be photographed and may be live streamed. They may be used to promote the sport at
this event and Wycombe Swimming events in the future. Moving images may be displayed at the
venue and via live stream (subject to the event being live streamed). In addition, Wycombe Swimming
may use these recordings and images on social and digital channels. In such instances where the
event is being live streamed, it will not be possible to provide the option to refuse consent to filming
and if there are any concerns, please speak to the Meet Promoter in advance of the Meet.

Anyone who wishes to take images are requested to focus on their own children as much as reasonably
possible and to avoid including other children in images, particularly if those images are being shared
with family and friends or through social media platforms. Whilst it is acknowledged that parents/carers
wish to celebrate the achievements of their own children when taking part in aquatic events, it should
be recognised and respected that other parents/carers may not wish for their child’s image to be taken
and shared in this way.

The use of cameras or mobile phones for taking photographs in the changing area is strictly forbidden.
Only coaches and team managers may take photos or film races on poolside and these must comply
with Swim England guidance and the focus of the filming should be of their swimmers only. Any
swimmer or coach found to be breaking these rules will be asked to leave the building and will take no
further part in the competition. The club also reserves the right to take further action against anybody
breaking this rule.

The safety of children and young people for this event is of paramount importance. If you have any
child safeguarding concerns at the event, please contact the Meet Promoter.

APPEALS
Any appeals must be submitted in accordance with Swim England procedures and will be handled by
the Meet Promoter and Referees.

GENERAL
Any point not covered by these rules will be at the discretion of the Meet Promoter. Depending upon
the situation, the Meet Promoter or Referee’s decision, respectively, will be final.
