There is a $15/swimmer Meet Entry Fee. \n\n\n\nClub swimmers with race experience should enter the Proficiency Assessment via Swim Central.  The Proficiency program provides SV Registered Club swimmers with an opportunity to gain a range of awards by achieving the relevant standards in the 4 swimming strokes. The Certificates and Awards are technique focused\, non-competitive and allow swimmers to track their progress by applying for and achieving higher awards each year.  There are 4 technique certificates and 6 levels of Award.  Each award prescribes a distance for each stroke that needs to be swum within a set time for each gender.  Swimmers can apply for as many levels as they wish\, with the exception of “Bar to Gold”.  “Bar to Gold” applicants MUST already hold the Gold standard.  Swimmers will only receive a Certificate or Award if it has been applied for AND the swimmer achieves the required standard. \n\n\n\nNew Club swimmers wishing to try racing for the first time and unregistered swimmers should enter Encouragement Meet via Try Booking.  Swimmers may choose from: 50m Freestyle\, 50m Backstroke\, 50m Breaststroke and 50m Butterfly.  Swimmers can choose to swim any number of strokes from only 1 race to all 4 Events.  The Meet entry fee includes your choice of 2 strokes. Additional Events cost $5.50/event. All participants will be awarded a participation certificate.  No requirement to be registered with a club. Suitable for “Swim School” and new\, inexperienced club swimmers. All Events will be 50m (1 length of the pool). Swimmer must be able to swim 50m without stopping. Events will be split into Age Groups based on swimmer’s age on 18th February 2024. Events with only 1 competitor may be combined with the next nearest age group.
