Branch Eliminator Rules 2010
I have attached the 2010 National Championship Rules for info. click here
Don’t worry too much about the Rules – they will be explained to you in training!!
Had this from RLSS – so thought i would share it with you:
Diving from blocks ban to be lifted – RLSS UK has been working to develop new guidelines to permit diving from a swimming block whilst wearing a rescue tube. Competitors who wish to start an event entering the water by diving from a block must comply with 1 of the 2 following measures:
1 – hold the newly introduced Lifesavers Competitive Start Award
2 – be certified by their club coach that they have personally evidenced that competence has been demonstrated (the club coach for competitors entering the Speed events will be asked to sign a document stating that the competitor has met the full range of competencies outlined in the RLSS UK Competitive Start Award)
In addition, 2 further control measures will be implemented by Championship Organisers:
1 – the venue will be risk assessed and measures put in place to minimise risks related to diving from blocks
2 – 1 time keeper from each lane will be briefed to ensure that the position of the rescue tube conforms to RLSS UK guidelines prior to the start
Fron January 1st 2010, diving from blocks whilst wearing a rescue tube may only take place at events meeting the above – and only by those competitors who have completed the above – otherwise starts will be from the water.
This requirement will be implemented for the National Championships in February 2010
Hope this makes sense – I think it mainly relates to the Speed Championships. If you require more info, please let me know and I will try to find out for you
