The first event will be marshalled at 5.50pm for a 6.00pm start. Parents please sign

Championships (see page 8 of the 2017/2018 Summer Club Book).

out, providing they are received Friday evening.
No entries will be accepted after Friday evening.
If entries have been submitted and a swimmer/parent
does not notify the Race Secretary by 4pm on the Monday
of their withdrawal from events for that night, they may be
ineligible to swim on the following Monday night.
Text or email Charmaine Auld your NAME to : Text : 0409 456 595 or Email : [email protected]
Swimmers are reminded of the expectations whilst in Marshalling, that co operation and quietly
listening to instructions is essential for club night to run efficiently.
Some tips :
be on time for your event
wait QUIETLY so that everyone can hear instructions
SIT in your allocated heat and lane when marshalled
Swimmers who are late for their event without good cause or swimmers who are not giving their full
cooperation will be referred to the Referee and may not be allowed to swim their event.
Swimmers who wish to swim distances of 200m and beyond MUST HAVE achieved the
required break times as published on page 7 of the 2017-2018 Summer Club Book.
If you have not yet picked up your 2017-2018 Summer Club Book, please collect it tonight
from the Race Secretary. It is also available on Team App under Meet Programs and on the
club website under Competition / Online Club Night Entries.

Entering Carnival Meets?
If entering a carnival meet via the online
system, please inform the Race Secretary of
your entries so that results can be obtained
from the host club / organisation.
This will be especially important that your
personal best swim times are recorded on the
club database when selections for relay teams
are being considered.
“Over the top” Starts may be implemented at the Referee’s discretion on club nights to speed up proceedings on any events of distances of 100m or over.
After completing a Freestyle, Butterfly or Breaststroke event, the competitor stays in the water against the wall until after the start of the next race.
For Backstroke, competitors will position themselves on the lane rope two meters from the wall. When the following competitor dives over the top of the previous swimmer, he may leave the water.
Ripples St Marys Swimming Club places a high
priority on communicating to our members and
the greater community. In addition to our club
website and facebook page, the club has added
Team App to our communications technology.
Team App is a customised smartphone app
which is available for download from both the
Apple App Store and Google Play for access on
mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and
android devices as well as being accessible
from the Team App website. Please follow the
instructions on the left to download the App
and register to have access to the ‘member on-
ly’ content. The App can also be accessed via
the internet: www.ripples.teamapp.com.
The club newsletter as well as other important
news and announcements will now be available
on the club website and Team App.
Team App members who have their ‘push noti-
fications’ enabled will receive the newsletter
and other notices direct to their mobile device.
Please continue to view our website and
facebook pages regularly as new content is
uploaded regularly.
Volunteers, please sign the Volunteer Register to record your volunteer participation and collect equipment by 5.50pm for a 5.55pm
time check at the starting end of the pool.
Tonight and every club night is dependent on the assistance

CHILD SUPERVISION CLUB NIGHTS / CARNIVALS
“Swimmers under the age of sixteen years must have adequate supervision (by a
person aged sixteen years or older) in attendance for the duration of club nights
or carnivals.
Any swimmers being identified in attendance at either a carnival or on club night without adequate supervision, will not be allowed to

Thank you to everyone who volunteers and helps our sport of swimming run so efficiently including club nights and carnival meets.
