Heats for individual events will be drawn based on entry times as declared on the entry forms. The fastest declared entry times will be drawn in the last heat. Where no entry time is declared the individual will be drawn in the first/early heats. Clubs are reminded that they must only enter times that have been achieved by competitors. It is unfair to enter times that have not been achieved or that are unrealistic. All this does is place the competitor in a potentially embarrassing position as they may have to swim in a heat where they are clearly far slower than other competitors. This is also unfair on those who should rightly be seeded into the fastest heats on their ability. The purpose of seeding competitors by entry time is to try to ensure that races are competitive and competitors swim in heats with others who can achieve similar times. Entering false or unrealistic times is deemed unfair practice and goes against the SLSGB's Fair Play Code. Event Helpers and Timekeepers Each competing club must supply 1 timekeeper (they must bring Stopwatches, pens/pencils, clipboards and wear a white top as a minimum please). Other events helpers also need to be provided to help to move equipment as determined by the referee, for the duration of the competition. Each competing club must also provide at least 1 suitable adult (able to spend a considerable amount of time in the water) for each 8 competitors entered, to help reset the manikin events. If there are insufficient event helpers or timekeepers, the organisers may have no option but to cancel one or more events on the day. Rules for the Event: The Rules for the event will be the current ILS Competition Rules (No Modifications) Equipment to be provided by competing clubs – manikins Each club must provide at least 2 ILS specification manikin for the competition. We need at least 8 manikins to run events where manikins are used, and 16 for the 200m Super lifesaver. Having more manikins available will mean that the turn-around time between events will be significantly shortened. Ensure your manikin is clean and clearly marked with your club’s name. SLSGB are not responsible for a loss or damage to manikins. Please make sure that they are properly identified. Team Manager’s Meeting All Team Managers must attend the Managers meeting. Failure to attend this meeting and pay the required fees at the correct time will mean that the Club’s participation in the event will be at best being delayed and at worst may be denied completely by the organisers. Consent: Team managers must be fully aware of any pre-existing medical condition or medication necessary for team members We strongly advise that all team managers, officials, and helpers involved in the event, should be registered with and cleared by Club Safeguarding Officer and where appropriate, relevant checks are completed. By entering the competition, you agree that SLSGB events are held in public places and by participating in these championships, competitors may be photographed, and these may be published. If you do not give consent to have photographs taken and possibly used for promotional purposes which may include media, social media, and website images, at SLSGB events, it is your responsibility to register with the National Safeguarding Manager or Event Manager at the SLSGB event HQ at the beginning of the event. A guide to Young Person Welfare procedures for this event will be sent to Team Managers and will be available on request to any interested parties. Competitor Numbers: Each competitor must have their four-digit number (club code plus two numbers as determined through the entry form) marked clearly on the back of their right hand at all times. This is essential for the recording process to operate effectively, as the recorders will only record the numbers of the competitor against the placing on their sheets. It is essential that all competitors have the number clearly displayed and can show it to any official when requested. Failure to do so could lead to the competitor being disqualified.

Nipper Pool Nationals 29th and 30th April 2023

SLSGB 2023 British Nipper Lifesaving Pool Championships 29th and 30th April 2023 Cardiff International Pool Eligibility The championships are open to members of SLSGB and SLSA Wales, all competitors named on the entry form must be paid up members of SLSGB or SLSA Wales and a member of an affiliated club by the closing date of entries. Competitors whose membership is received by SLSGB after that date will not be eligible to compete in this Championship. Individual Age Groups The age group in which any person competes is determined by the year of their birth, rather than the date of the competition. The basic rule is to add one year to the age a competitor is on 31st December in the year prior to the competition and this determines the age group in which the competitor competes for the following year. Thus: 8 Year Nipper competitors will be 7 on the 31st December in the year preceding competition and will reach the age of 8 in the year of competition 9 Year Nipper competitors will be 8 on the 31st December in the year preceding competition and will reach the age of 9 in the year of competition 10 Year Nipper competitors will be 9 on the 31st December in the year preceding competition and will reach the age of 10 in the year of competition 11 Year Nipper competitors will be 10 on the 31st December in the year preceding competition and will reach the age of 11 in the year of competition 12 Year Nipper competitors will be 11 on the 31st December in the year preceding competition and will reach the age of 12 in the year of competition 13 Year Nipper competitors will be 12 on the 31st December in the year preceding competition and will reach the age of 13 in the year of competition Team Events: Rescue Tube and Board rescue pairs must be drawn from the same age groups. Nippers cannot swim up or down the age groups. Relay members must compete in the age group relay stated in the programme. Closing Date and submission of entries The closing date for entries is Friday 14th April at 6pm. All entries must be submitted electronically.

Entry fees: There is one entry fee that covers the individual competitor for all individual, pair and team events. Entry fees for these Championships are £30 per competitor (** the club have added £1.70 to cover website and payment transaction fees) The entry fees will be calculated based on the entries made at the time the entry forms are submitted and confirmed by email to each Club prior to the event and these must be paid irrespective of whether a competitor is withdrawn from an event or fails to show 29th April – 8yrs/9yrs/10yrs 30th April – 11yrs/12yrs/13yrs We are hoping that all COVID restrictions will be lifted for the event and spectators will be welcome to come and watch the event. Remember: CLOSING DATE FOR ENTRIES is Monday 14th April at 6pm After all entries have been received and checked for confirmation of membership the information will be collated. A list of the individual, pair and team entries in club order will be produced and sent by email only to the designated contact within the Club for all clubs entered. Clubs should ensure that their Team Manager, if not the designated contact, is given a copy of the entry list information and has a copy of the entry forms before they are submitted. This will enable checks of the accuracy of the entry lists. A summary of the entry fees required will also be given to each club. A final pre-event circular will also be distributed by email at this point to give instructions to all clubs regarding access to the venue/storage of gear trailers etc. Team Managers must check the entry lists to ensure that all entries for his/her club are listed and accurate and advise by email up to five days before the event of any queries or omissions. After this time no amendments can be made, even if SLSGB has made the error Each club will be required to give a contact number to enable organisers to make contact in case of further queries. This number will also be used to receive by text any late changes to programme based on the number of confirmed starters, start times or venues if required, and to confirm the start time and venue for the Team Manager’s Meeting on the opening day of the event. It is not necessary to name the individuals in paired and team events. Cancellation Policy If the Event must be cancelled for safety reasons, a change in Government C19 Policy or venue closer the Organiser will attempt to notify Team Managers who have provided a contact phone number or e–mail address. No refunds will be given for costs incurred to comply with entry eligibility or travel to the event. The Organiser will produce an account for all the direct non recoverable Event Costs expended and will add £5 for each entrant to cover administration costs. Any balance remaining will be refunded pro rata to each entrant upon the written request of the Club Team representative. Any amount unclaimed by the 30th June will be treated as a donation the Charity (SLSGB). Aggregate Trophies and Medals Medals will be presented for 1st to 3rd place in all individual events and all team events. While every attempt will be made to present medals throughout the events, depending on the time available, medals may be distributed to Team Managers at the conclusion of the competition for local presentation back at club functions.

Heats for individual events will be drawn based on entry times as declared on the entry forms. The fastest declared entry times will be drawn in the last heat. Where no entry time is declared the individual will be drawn in the first/early heats. Clubs are reminded that they must only enter times that have been achieved by competitors. It is unfair to enter times that have not been achieved or that are unrealistic. All this does is place the competitor in a potentially embarrassing position as they may have to swim in a heat where they are clearly far slower than other competitors. This is also unfair on those who should rightly be seeded into the fastest heats on their ability. The purpose of seeding competitors by entry time is to try to ensure that races are competitive and competitors swim in heats with others who can achieve similar times. Entering false or unrealistic times is deemed unfair practice and goes against the SLSGB's Fair Play Code. Rules for the Event: The Rules for the event will be the current SLSGB Nipper Competition Rules. Equipment to be provided by competing clubs: Boards: Clubs can use which boards they prefer at the Championships 1.6 or 2m. As boards will not be pooled clubs are required to bring sufficient to cover their heats. Ensure that your boards are clearly marked with your club’s name. Manikins -Tubes: Tubes and Junior Manikins will be provided by SLSGB. Event Helpers and Timekeepers Each competing club must supply 1 timekeeper (they must bring Stopwatches, pens/pencils, clipboards and wear a white top as a minimum please). Other events helpers also need to be provided to help to move equipment as determined by the referee, for the duration of the competition. Each competing club must also provide at least 1 suitable adult (able to spend a considerable amount of time in the water) for each 8 competitors entered, to help reset the manikin events. If there are insufficient event helpers or timekeepers, the organisers may have no option but to cancel one or more events on the day. Team Manager’s Meeting All Team Managers must attend the Managers meeting. Failure to attend this meeting and pay the required fees at the correct time will mean that the Club’s participation in the event will be at best being delayed and at worst may be denied completely by the organisers. Consent: Team managers must be fully aware of any pre-existing medical condition or medication necessary for team members We strongly advise that all team managers, officials, and helpers involved in the event, should be registered with, and cleared by Club Safeguarding Officer and where appropriate, relevant checks are completed. By entering the competition, you agree that SLSGB events are held in public places and by participating in these championships, competitors may be photographed, and these may be published. If you do not give consent to have photographs taken and possibly used for promotional purposes which may include media, social media, and website images, at SLSGB events, it is your responsibility to register with the National Safeguarding Manager or Event Manager at the SLSGB event HQ at the beginning of the event. A guide to Young Person Welfare procedures for this event will be sent to Team Managers and will be available on request to any interested parties. Competitor Numbers: Each competitor must have their four-digit number (club code plus two numbers as determined through the entry form) marked clearly on the back of their right hand at all times. This is essential for the recording process to operate effectively, as the recorders will only record the numbers of the competitor against the placing on their sheets. It is essential that all competitors have the number clearly displayed and can show it to any official when requested. Failure to do so could lead to the competitor being disqualified. Each club will be supplied with a suitable marker pen to mark their competitor numbers.
