GALA REPORTS 

Timekeeping - Leinster Events

From the Leinster Swimming website:

Quota System
The Quota System regarding gala officials will continue to operate. Each club must provide a quota of officials per swims for each gala. This quota will be set once the entries have been received, and clubs will be notified. Failure to provide officials will mean swimmers being excluded from that session.

Timekeepers
In keeping with our aim to provide the best facilities for our swimmers, we would ask designated timekeepers to wear a white polo top, navy bottoms and suitable poolside footwear.

FINA Rules

Stroke Rules: Any swimmer entering a gala should know the attached FINA stroke rules.

Swimwear Rules -  Extract from Swim Ireland website:

On January 4, 2010, FINA issued its final list of suits approved for use in competition in 2010. Until such time as we receive further guidance from FINA, Swim Ireland will continue to allow all swimsuits which are either listed on the final FINA list or meet the criteria below:

0. Swimsuits for men may not extend above the navel or below the knee and for women may not cover the neck or extend past the shoulders or below the knee
0. No zippers or other fastening devises are allowed except for a waist tie on a brief or jammer
0. Suits must be of textile material and must not be made of any rubberized type of material such as polyurethane or neoprene. 

Should you have any questions on this please contact the Swim Ireland office.
