2.1.4. Warm Up Procedures

The NAA has established the following procedures for all NAA swim meets including Dual meets, Time Trials, the Championship (Big Meet) and the Summer Swimmers Championship meet. During the warm-up period, the meet management shall be responsible for ensuring that all rules are followed.

2.1.4.1. Diving Starts
Diving starts shall not be made during the warm-up period for any competition when two-way swimming is in progress. Coaches may allow diving starts in any lane in which only one-way swimming in the direction of the diving starts is permitted.

2.1.4.2. Equipment
FLUTTER BOARDS and PULLBOYS are allowed.
Hand paddles and flippers ARE NOT permissible.

2.1.4.3. Backstrokers
As a courtesy, coaches should allow backstrokers, to have the “right of way” for safety purposes.

2.1.4.4. Safety Marshalls
It is incumbent on all participants, e.g. swimmers, coaches, officials and administration to comply with these procedures. The meet management shall designate Safety Marshalls who will ensure compliance with these procedures. The marshalls shall be responsible for the conduct of the warm-up in the competition venue.

2.1.4.5. Questions
Questions about and any requests to deviate from these procedures should be directed to the VP of Swimming.

2.2.1. The recognized age categories, separate for Girls and Boys are:

• 8 and under
• 9 and 10 years
• 11 and 12 years
• 13 and 14 years
• Open

2.2.2. Any age group swimmer may swim in a maximum of three (3) events, comprised of two (2) individual events and one (1) relay, or one (1) individual events and two (2) relays. Open swimmers may swim in three (3) individual events and one (1) relay.

2.2.3. A swimmer may swim in his/her age group or an older age group provided 2.2.2 is adhered to.

2.2.4. If a non-open swimmer competes in the open category as well as that of his/her respective age category, he/she can only swim a maximum of 3 events (2 individual and 1 relay). Alternatively, a non-open swimmer competing solely in the open category may swim a maximum of 4 events (3 individual and 1 relay).

2.2.5. Each team is allowed three (3) official entries in each individual event and three (3) official entries in each relay event. In individual events only the first two finishers from each team will be scored. In relay events, only the first finisher from each team will be scored.

2.3.1. Federation de Natation du Quebec (FNQ) rules will prevail with the exception of any disqualification that would NOT give the swimmer a competitive advantage in any age group. Their application, however will be moderated for “8 and under”. In individual events an “8 and under” may be disqualified for the use of the wrong pull only. In “8 and under” relay events, a team will be disqualified for a “too early” takeoff by a member of the team or wrong pull by a competitor. Swimmers for legs where there is no starting block will start at the wall in the pool. It is recommended that a coach be on deck with the “8 and under” relay. All competitors will however receive a ribbon.

2.3.2 In the event of a disqualification, the swimmer or relay in question shall place last, receive no time (9:99.99) and not be able to score points.

2.3.3 Swimmers in the 8 and Under category may swim with the assistance of a flotation device or a lifeguard assistant. In Both cases the swimmer is considered having swum with assistance, and their swim will be considered an Exhibition swim and will not score points, regardless of what heat they swim in. In the case of using a Lifeguard assistant, the assistant will start the event in the water and the swimmer may start in the water, from the blocks or the side of the pool.

2.3.4 A swimmer may swim with a cast as long as it is deemed safe for the swimmer and the other swimmers in the event and no advantage will be gained while swimming with the cast. The NAA VP Swimming after consultation with the Referee will have the final call; the NAA reserves the right to request a doctor’s note approving the cast for swimming.

2.3.5 All swimmers must wear uniform according to SNC swimming regulations. Any desire to deviate from the acceptable uniform must be approved by the referee.

2.3.6 The referee must act, to the best of his/her abilities, such that heats and events are either combined into a single race, or redistributed into multiple races, thus guaranteeing that no swimmer competes alone within his/her heat. Heats and events may be combined, regardless of gender or age category, provided such decision combines swimmers of similar calibre and swimming the same stroke.

To combine, swimmers may be re-assigned to an empty lane of another heat or event.

Combined races must nonetheless be scored separately, according to the heat and event numbers indicated on the swim cards. No competitive advantage is gained from this procedure. 

A coach may request before the referee that a swimmer competing alone in a heat be re-assigned to a race amongst which competitors of the swimmer’s calibre are observed. The request must be accepted if logistically possible.

2.4.1 The NAA Competitive Swimming Schedule will start during the first week of July, unless otherwise determined at the NAA spring meeting.

2.4.1.1 The NAA Competitive Swimming Schedule will be ready by the NAA spring meeting.
