SPONSORSHIP

The club is always looking for sponsorship. If anyone has contacts with or knows of any business

houses/corporations that may be interested in sponsorship please contact the club’s Secretary.

Our current major sponsorship packages are:

SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES

⬐Gold $2,000 – Includes large logo on club shirt sleeve and back of club singlet ⬐Silver $1,000 - Includes small logo on club shirt sleeve and back of club singlet ⬐Bronze $500 – Includes small logo on back of club singlet

In addition to these sponsorship packages, we may also be looking for carnival sponsors each season where

we are the host of either club carnivals or regional carnivals.

The Wagga Wagga Swimming Club acknowledges the valuable support of all of our sponsors.

Please support the businesses that support Swimming in Wagga Wagga.

FUNDRAISING

In addition to sponsorship, WWSC relies heavily on fundraising to help make the club successful.

In order to give our swimmers the best opportunity to succeed, each family’s assistance is required to raise

extra funds.

Ways of doing this include:

Raffle sales

Carnivals

BBQ sales

Merchandise sales

Equipment hire.

The clubs major fundraiser is the running of school carnivals throughout February and March.

Parental help is essential for these carnivals to operate. One of the best ways to lend a hand is to become an

accredited official. Courses are available to complete online and assessments are undertaken on pool deck

(see page 11).

You do not need to be a part of the committee to help run our club… Many hands make light work!

11

PARENTAL COMMITMENT TO WAGGA WAGGA SWIMMING CLUB An integral part of having a strong and committed successful swimming club is parents who get involved in the

officiating side of swimming. Theses accredited parent officials are vital so that WWSC club nights can be approved,

with those times swum becoming ‘official’ for entry qualifications and records. Additionally, WWSC will be able to

provide accredited officials at area carnivals as well as hosting our own carnivals in a professional manner. There are

many areas of the officiating side of swimming that parents can become accredited in. WWSC is fortunate to have two

current swimming referees, trainers and assessors - Kayleen and Tom Murphy.

The following pathway is suggested and all parents are strongly encouraged to complete steps 1 to 5 as a minimum.

1. Obtain a NSW Working with Children Check. This is completed online using the following link.

http://www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/child-safe-organisations/working-with-children-check

Once completed you attend the RTA now called RMS for a 100% identification check. Your application is processed

and you are informed of you WWC number by email. Once you have your Working with Children Number, please

forward to – Tom Murphy at [email protected]

2. Complete the Australian Institute of Sport – Introductory Level Officiating General Principles. This is obtained via the following hyperlink

https://learning.ausport.gov.au/auth/login/?returnUrl=%2F

You will have to register then find and complete the Introductory Level Officiating General Principles.

3. General Introduction Have a good read of the NSW Swimming’s website https://nsw.swimming.org.au/ in particular those documents under

the heading Officials & Volunteers. This section mentions the Area Technical Swimming Committee Coordinator

(ATSCC). For our Southern Inland Swimming Association, the ATSCC is Kayleen Murphy.

4. It is recommended that the modules be completed in the following order: Time Keeper/Chief Time Keeper

Clerk of the Course (Marshalling)

Check Starter

It is strongly recommended that you read the notes and undertake the training exercises to obtain a comprehensive

understanding of the role and function. Once you have completed the training exercises forward them to Kayleen or

Tom for marking and feedback.

5. Complete the NSW Swimming online modules for: Timekeeper,

Chief Time Keeper,

Check Starter

Clerk of the Course (Marshalling).

Once these online courses have been successfully completed to finish the accreditation process you will need to be

assessed. The assessments for the aforementioned modules can be completed at club nights and/or area carnivals.

6. Those parents that wish to undertake further technical accreditation can complete the following modules. Starter,

Recorder,

Judges of Stroke,

Inspector of Turns.

7. Once a parent has successfully completed all modules they can apply to undertake Referee training. This is coordinated through the ATSCC. At this stage, the Refereeing accreditation comprises of the candidate

having reached accreditation in all of the previous mentioned modules, completion of a Referee training

exercises, completion of the Referee module, written Referee’s exam and two on pool-deck Referee

assessments at 2 area carnivals.

TYPES OF RECORDS

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS Club Championship records remain an important and historic part of the club, with several of these records

dating as far back as 2003.

Records exist across all age groups and all events, in both male and female - these are listed as Age Records.

An additional set of records is kept for the fastest overall times in all championship events, in both male and

female – these are listed as Open Records.

All Club Championships records can only be attempted and broken during Club Championship events.

All records can be found on club website.

CLUB RECORDS - LONG COURSE Long Course Club Records are kept separate from Club Championships records and can be attempted and

broken by any WWSC financial member at any Swimming Australia or Swimming NSW/ACT long course

meet or club night event.

These records were introduced in October 2018 to recognise some of the great times our swimmers are

achieving in long course events outside of championships.

As a starting point for these records, existing club night and club championship records have been added as

the initial records. Times from past carnivals have not been included but those from carnivals held after

October 1, 2018 will now be recognised.


CLUB RECORDS - SHORT COURSE Short Course Club Records were introduced at the commencement of the short course season in 2018.

As there are no existing club records for any short course events, all initial records are times from the 2018

season only.

These records can be attempted and broken by any WWSC financial member at any Swimming Australia or

Swimming NSW/ACT short course meet or club night event.


RIVERINA RECORDS Riverina records can be attempted and broken by any WWSC financial member at any Riverina Zone

Carnival, during both long course and short course seasons. Certificates may be presented.

SISA RECORDS Southern Inland swimming records can be attempted and broken by any WWSC financial member at either

the SISA LC Championship Meet held in February each year or the SISA SC Championships Meet in

August each year. Certificates may be presented.

CARNIVAL PROCEDURES AND TECHNICAL RULES – SISA

1. MARSHALLING: Competitors must report to the Marshalling Area immediately their event is

called.

2. METHOD OF STARTING ALL EVENTS

The Check Starter shall place competitors in their lane at one half paces behind the starting position.

The procedures will then be:

(a) A whistle blast, at which the competitors take their position on the blocks;

(b) The Starter’s command, “take your marks”;

(c) Starting Signal.

After command (b) the competitor shall remain stationary until the starting signal.

3. FINISH: Competitors must remain in their correct lanes at the finish of each event until told to leave

the water, which must be by the side of the pool.

4. Remember the “magic word” when asking for your time.

5. FALSE STARTS: Any swimmer starting before the starting signal will be disqualified. In the event

of a false start, there is a second starting signal, and a false start rope will be dropped.

6. SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER - TOUCHING THE WALL

(a) In all events other than Breaststroke or Butterfly stroke, a swimmer when TURNING shall

make physical contact with the end of the pool or course. The turn must be made from the wall and it is not

permitted to take a stride or step from the bottom of the pool.

(b) In Breaststroke when touching at the TURN, the touch must be made with both hands

simultaneously, but not necessarily at the same level. At the FINISH, the touch must be made with both

hands simultaneously on the same level with shoulders in horizontal position hands must now be apart also.

(c) In Butterfly when TOUCHING at the TURN or on FINISHING the race, the touch shall be

made with both hands simultaneously on the same level with shoulders in the horizontal position.

(i) The race - the swimmer must be on their back at all times except when executing a

turn.

not more than fifteen (15) metres after the start and each turn. At that point (15m) the head must have

broken the water.

(iii) The turn - during the turn the shoulders may be turned over the vertical to the breast

but the swimmer must have returned to a position on the back upon leaving the wall. When executing a turn

there must be a touch of the wall with some part of the swimmer’s body.

FINA has interpreted “except when executing the turn” to mean - “any deviation from

the normal Backstroke position in order to execute a continuous turning action”. It is understood that any

swimmer who commences the turn early and then finds it necessary to continue swimming, i.e. stroking

and/or kicking while in the face down position to reach the wall, is liable to disqualification.

(iv) The finish - upon the finish of the race the swimmer must touch the wall while on

their back. Some part of the swimmer must be above the water on touching the wall.

(e) In Freestyle turning, the swimmer is required to touch the wall of the pool or course with any

part of the body, not necessarily the hand. However, at the FINISH of the race it is necessary for contact to

be made with the wall of the pool.

7. OUT OF BOUNDS: The concourse, except to approved officials, is out of bounds during swimming

club meetings.
