Swimming carnivals are conducted over a period of two weeks at three venues:
George Bolton Swimming Centre at Burnside, SA Aquatic Centre and The Valleys Lifestyle Centre Pool in Clare.
Children from school Years 3 – 6 compete in sections based on the previous year’s results. Section 1 and Section 2 are single gender carnivals involving separate boys and girls events. All other carnivals are mixed gender carnivals where there are no separate events for boys and girls. Events are in the four standard styles of Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly and Freestyle with three ability levels A, B and C offering a greater number of children the chance to compete.
A system of promotion and relegation operates at the conclusion of the carnivals based on the highest and lowest number of points gained. Schools will be notified of their carnival section following receipt of Swimming Nomination Form A.
Carnivals are organised according to the Rules of FINA.

Swimming Official Duties
The SACPSSA Executive will provide an Announcer, Starter, Referee and Computer Recorder. Responsibilities of the officials supplied by competing schools at the carnival, and the nature of the roles are listed below.
- 2 x False start rope attendants (Senior children can be considered)
- 9 x Timekeepers (One of whom will be Chief / Roving Timekeeper)
- 4 x Place judges (Chief Judge supplied by SACPSSA)
Starters Marshalls
The Team Teacher or Coach shall be responsible for placing swimmers in their correct lanes as allocated in the programme. All swimmers from each school swim in the same lane for all events. When called by the Announcer, swimmers report to their respective Teacher/Coach who will line them up in correct lane positions ready for the Starter. For relays, they are also responsible for ensuring that ALL swimmers are in the correct lane and ready at the correct end of the pool.
Starters
(SACPSSA Executive member)
The Starter is responsible for the starting of all events. When the Finish Marshall indicates to the Starter, the Starter shall sound a whistle to bring swimmers to the blocks for the next race.
Starting instructions are then – “Take your mark” (swimmers move into position on the blocks, stand still and ready). Starter then fires the gun. In the case of a false start, a second firing of the gun, after the swimmers have resurfaced, will indicate to the false start rope attendants to drop the rope.
After a false start, all swimmers must return to the marshalled position and await the whistle to bring them back to the blocks to restart the race.
False Rope Attendant (2)
These 2 people are responsible for manning the false start rope. In the event of a false start, the starter will fire the gun a second time after swimmers resurface. When this occurs the rope should be dropped immediately to stop any swimmers.
Referee
(SACPSSA Executive Member)
This person is responsible for ensuring that all swimmers adhere generally to the basic rules of swimming.
Due to the nature of our carnivals, in the lowest age group only glaring examples of rule breaches may be penalised (e.g. interference, etc.) but in higher age groups where technique has been taught (especially in Div. A races) more technical breaches will be penalised. (e.g. in backstroke, swimmers must be on their backs as they touch. In breaststroke and butterfly, touches must be made with both hands simultaneously, etc.)
However, all breaches in relay changeovers will be penalised.
Timekeepers (10)
Timekeepers are responsible for the timing of competitors in each lane – one timekeeper per lane plus one Roving Timekeeper.
They start the watch at the sound of the starter’s signal and stop the watch when the swimmer touches the wall. Should a Timekeeper miss the start for whatever reason she/he should indicate to the Roving Timekeeper who will time that person’s lane.
Timekeepers must not reset the watch until the Chief Timekeeper has checked and recorded the time.
Because of the ‘No Diving from the shallow end’ rule, timekeepers will be required to move to the end of the pool dependent on the distance of the race in order to stop the watch at the Finish end.
Chief Timekeeper (Roving) (1)
The Chief Timekeeper is responsible for:
a. acting as a Roving Timekeeper, if one is not available, stopping the watch on the 1st swimmer to finish or timing the lane of a timekeeper who may have missed a start
ensuring the watches are reset for the start of each race (e.g. calls ‘reset watches)
recording all times in order of lanes on the sheet supplied
checking with Chief Judge if a disputed result occurs
Place Judges and Chief Judge (Roving) (6)
Judges are responsible for placing of swimmers in each event. Each judge places 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. by lane number as they finish. These placings are then checked by the Chief Judge – if a dispute occurs, the Chief Judge will confer with the Chief Timekeeper for clarification of placings. When placings are finalised, place discs will be issued to swimmers in the 1st four places.
Finish Marshall (1)
After the Judges give the place discs to the 4 placegetters, the Finish Marshall blows a whistle to get the children from the pool and signals to the Starter to start the next race.
Recorders (2)
One recorder is required to list on the “Result slip” the names and schools of the first four placegetters , the winning time, circling the NEW RECORD BOX if necessary. The Time sheet , Judges sheet and Results sheet are stapled and passed to the Computer programmer. The second recorder allocates the respective winners with their ribbons and assists the first recorder if necessary. All other recording will be completed by the computer programmer.
The Announcer
(SACPSSA Executive member)
It is the task of the announcer to keep the crowd and competitors informed, call competitors for each event (4 events in advance), call for quiet at the start of races, explain and if possible demonstrate areas that may be of concern to competitors. At the conclusion of the Carnival, thank all concerned, i.e. Parent volunteer officials, St John, IDM, Teachers, Coaches, supporters, Pool officials, announce the winners and present trophies.
