THE LOGISTICS OF  DIGGERS SWIMMING

Every new swimmer needs to swim a time trial in each event in order to establish a time. Handicaps are then revised weekly, and your starting time is based on these results.
 
We run a handicapped points score and championship competitions and award prizes.  For adults, the weekly handicap wins are based on the ‘money swim’ awarding  first and second place (must be within two seconds of your time to have a chance) and closest to time.

Check out our sponsors on the webpage!

Weekly nominations

As the Club has a large number of members early nomination are required to assist with handicapping. 
 
Handicappers manually write up the races, so if you are late, so show your appreciation for their work by being timely and careful with your nominations.
 
Please nominate prior to leaving the previous Sunday,  or head to the nominations page.  If you submit an online nominations after this time, it will be considered as NOT lodged and WILL NOT make it to the race book.
 

On Sunday

Once you have nominated, please assist with setup— we need your help to time clock, mostly this is something that is rotated ad-hoc through the morning as competitors are called to marshalling.
 
The get through the program quickly, please go the blocks when your name is called for your race.  Parents—please ensure your children are mindful of this as we will run the race without them.
 
The program begins with either 200m or 100m swims first—alternating between adult and child races.  Followed by the ‘money swim’ $$, then the rest of the program.

Junior Swimming Categories

Children are placed into swimming categories based on age and ability.
 
Intermediates—13-18 year olds

Mini’s— 6-13 year olds and swimmers that can confidently swim 50m freestyle and complete 30m in other swimming strokes. 

Tadpoles—encouraging the youngest members of the Club to participate in swimming.  Noodles or kickboards are permitted. Parents can swim behind Tadpoles but can not physically assist in any way.  When nominating, Tadpoles can either do 25m or 30m (with the idea that your child starts at 25m and graduates to 30m). Tadpoles will advance to Mini’s at age six (depending on ability).

Uniform

We encourage everyone to purchase a Diggers Shirt and wear for sun protection but also as a way of promoting the Club.  Shirts, shorts and hats are available for purchase at cost price.

Monthly BBQs

The BBQ is organised by different members who volunteer each month.  These are followed by a Club meeting where any issues are raised and ideas are discussed.  Everyone is encouraged to participate.
