Announcement from British Swimming re FINA By Law 8.1

The following statement has been issued today, (09/05/13), by the ASA and British Swimming:

“British Swimming and the ASA advise officials FINA bylaw BL 8.1 only applies to Olympic Games and FINA events. There is no requirement for officials to check that costumes are on the approved FINA list. Bylaws BL 8.2 and BL 8.3 cover our requirement for design and material. A suit check will only be made if a World or European record is being claimed."

I trust this will assist you in dealing with any queries.

All swimmers should note that this means your Arena Carbon Pro Suit doesnt need to be sent back before Nationals: please don't panic!

2013 supported competitions:
	Entries are now being taken for TDSwim's Summer Meet. This years Meet at Hutton Moor, Weston Super Mare, follows our usual format of swimming events with added excitement of a series of "Skins events". Qualification on the day from the 200 freestyle will add a little competitive fun. Details can be downloaded below: For the HyTek file please click here For the Meet Pack please click here We look forward to seeing you all in a (hopefully) Sunny Weston in July.
	2013 TDS Time Trials. Please note there are two time trials being arranged for the 2013 season. Meet 1 is scheduled for May 26th details to be circulated by Donna Hicks. *For all those interested swimmers it is important that we have sufficient volunteers to hold this closed meet, without your support this will not happen.* Email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to indicate your support. This meet is designed to help prepare all ST1, 2 and 3 swimmers for the Level 3 meet in July. All club swimmers should attend.
	Chard and Clevedon Meet This meet is now full. Please note there will be scratches this year.
	Cardiff International Meet - 7th - 9th June - Entries back to Squad reps by 24th April 2013 Details for the Cardiff International Meet on 7th - 9th June should have been circulated by your rep. Please note this meet is for those youth swimmers and age group swimmers not competing at the regional championships the same weekend. Please note the closing date is 27th April and so entries need to be back to Donna by WEDNESDAY 24th at the latest (via your squad rep). Anyone wishing to attend this meet, please read the programme carefully, as there is a full day's competition on the Friday and so swimmers would need to take the day off school.
PLEASE NOTE: all communication / queries regarding meets should be handled by your Squad rep unless otherwise directed. This ensures we limit the number of mistakes that can be potentially made. The club appreciates your cooperation in this matter.
