1. Welcome Local Organising Committee Welcome
Dear Team Leaders,
It is my honour to present to you the London
2019 World Para Swimming Allianz
Championships Team Leader Manual on behalf
of the Local Organising Committee.
When you come to London this year you and
your athletes will be welcomed into this truly
diverse and historical part of England. You will
experience the iconic Paralympic grounds
where stars were born in 2012, and be part of
the history and legacy that is home to the
London Aquatics Centre.
To see over 75 countries being represented by
650 athletes is truly inspiring. Knowing that
some of these swimmers competing in London
this year will then go on to represent their
countries in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics is
something we are so proud to be a part of.
The information that you will find within this
guide will serve as useful information as you
plan your visit to London this September.
From everyone here at British Swimming, the
very best luck.
Thank you,
Jack Buckner
British Swimming
CEO
International Paralympic Committee
Dear Team Leaders,

important competitions on the road to the

some of the swimmers competing in London

Ceremony procedure in the Ceremony Room.
All athletes and support staff are requested to wear their full team uniform when
participating in Medal Ceremonies Long pants and closed shoes are required (no shorts, flip-
flops, clogs, etc are allowed). No flags or other national symbols (other than the team
uniform) are allowed on the medal podium. The ceremonies will take place during the finals
sessions.
7.3. Medals Medals will be awarded to the first three (3) athletes finishing the event (regardless of the
sport class) In the exceptional case an event is completed by only three (3) or fewer
swimmers medals will be awarded following the ‘minus one rule’.
Please note all events that are viable as of the Final Programme (close of Final entries) will
remain medal events, independent of any changes of classes following classification or
medical withdrawals. If necessary rule 10.14.1 will apply.
Should an athlete’s first Appearance take place in a Direct Final and their class gets allocated
as a higher Sport Class (E.g. S5 to S6) then World Para Swimming rule 10.13.2 will come
into effect and World Para Swimming will recall the medal after the classification results are
posted, at the end of the finals session. Other medallists affected by this will subsequently
receive the correct medals.
Disclaimer: Due to the number of athletes being classified at these Championships this
situation might come to pass.
8. Medical & Anti-Doping Information
8.1. Anti-Doping The Anti-Doping control/process will be carried out in full accordance with the IPC Anti-
Doping Code & Regulations and in conjunction with the IPC Doping Control Agreement in
place with the LOC and National Anti-Doping Programme UK Anti-Doping (UKAD).
All athletes may be subject to in and out of competition Doping Control sample collection
and testing throughout the Championships in accordance with the regulations above. The in-
competition testing will be carried out via UKAD with additional information available here
https://www.ukad.org.uk/ .
If an athlete is selected for testing in competition, a chaperone will escort the athlete and be
in possession of the athlete’s accreditation card until the testing has been completed.
8.2. Medical Services at the Venue The LOC will ensure that the implementation of all necessary and appropriate on-site
medical, emergency ambulance and first aid services during the Championships training and
competition dates. Transportation will be provided to a local hospital only in an emergency;
the closest hospital to the venue is Homerton Hospital, which is a 14 minute journey from
the London Aquatics Centre.
Medical services will be provided at the official competition venue. The Chief Medical Officer
will be responsible for medical arrangements for the competition and will supervise medical
support, which includes recording all injuries and diseases. They will also supervise the
emergency medical room including all essential first aid equipment and materials. The Chief
Medical Officer will act as liaison for visiting NPC doctors with laboratory facilities,
emergency treatment, necessary hospitalisation and obtaining necessary medications.
First aid and limited medical facilities will be available at the First Aid room located on the
pool deck level. Details of any special medical emergency plan arrangements will be given at
the technical meeting. Information on location of medical facilities and notification of
required team support will be outlined in the DRM and will be available at the SID.
NPCs that have medical personnel travelling with them are reminded to ensure that NPC’s
medical staff have appropriate medical insurance and are enabled to conduct medical
treatment within Great Britain.
Lifeguards will be on duty during all competition and training sessions.
8.3. Insurance Generally, visitors can access emergency health care in Great Britain. However, NPC
delegation members are obliged to have their own travel and medical insurance for the
duration of their stay in Great Britain, including repatriation coverage as each NPC will be
responsible for any medical expenses resulting from participation in the event.
In Great Britain, with regards to transportation, it is required for wheelchair users to have
their wheelchairs clamped during the journey – this will add additional time to the travel
journeys.
