5. Heat Draws / <strong>Entry</strong> Times<br />

All events will be decided on a heat-declared winner basis; heats will be seeded according to entry times. Heats for<br />

individual events will be drawn based on entry times as declared on the entry forms.<br />

The fastest declared entry times will be drawn in the last heat. Where no entry time is declared the individual will be<br />

drawn in the first/early heats.<br />

Clubs are reminded that they must only enter times that have been achieved by competitors. It is unfair to<br />

enter times that have not been achieved or that are unrealistic. All this does is place the competitor in a<br />

potentially embarrassing position as they may have to swim in a heat where they are clearly far slower than<br />

other competitors. This is also unfair on those who should rightly be seeded into the fastest heats on their<br />

ability.<br />

The purpose of seeding competitors by entry time is to try to ensure that races are competitive and<br />

competitors swim in heats with others who can achieve similar times. Entering false or unrealistic times is<br />

deemed unfair practice and goes against the SLSGB’s Fair Play Code.<br />

200m Obstacle Time Trial - If you have a competitor that wishes to enter the 200m Obstacle to get a time for the<br />

National or Interclub worlds team then they must have a time that is below 02:40:00. If they are not entering any<br />

other events other than the 200m Obstacle then the entry fee will be £10.00.<br />

6. Event Helpers and Time Keepers<br />

Each competing club must supply one timekeeper (they must bring stopwatches, pens/pencils, clipboards and wear<br />

a white top as a minimum please). Other event helpers also need to be provided to help to move equipment as<br />

determined by the referee, for the duration of the competition. Each competing club must also provide at least one<br />

suitable adult (able to spend a considerable amount of time in the water) for each eight competitors entered, to help<br />

reset the manikin for the following three events:<br />

50m Manikin Carry<br />

100m Rescue Medley<br />

200m Super Lifesaver<br />

If there are insufficient event helpers or timekeepers, the organisers may have no option but to cancel one or more<br />

events on the day.<br />

All event helpers and time keepers must be a current member of SLSGB.<br />
