Swimmers must keep to their age group for the individual races, but may swim up a grade for relay events, provided that they swim no more than two relay events plus the OPEN events. Schools must name the swimmers entered so that this rule is adhered to. Swimmers must swim in the order they are listed. Any changes to a relay team must be lodged before the start of the zone event. 7. Schools may enter more than one relay team per age group stroke but only one can qualify for Champ of Champs and up to six individuals per age group stroke.

Acceptable swimwear is required - NO double togs, NO race suits NO compression swimsuits, no jeans, no tee shirts. All swimmers in the College Sport Auckland Swimming Zones and Champion of Champion meets will no longer be permitted to wear technical/performance race suits at any College Sport Auckland Swimming sanctioned competitions. 11. What is a Technical/ Performance Suit? Technical/performance racing suits are manufactured using scientifically advanced materials. Materials of this type are normally comprised of spandex and nylon composite fabrics with features to reduce “drag” against the water. The fabrics include features which are highly compressive and increase the swimmer's glide through water and reducing absorption of water by the suit as opposed to regular swimsuits. Traditional one-piece race suits for females as well as briefs and trunks for male swimmers are not technical/performance suits and will be permitted. Knee length suits and “jammers” will also be permitted provided they do not feature the key components of a technical/performance swim suit will also be permitted. The key component of a technical/performance suits which should be identified when differentiating what is and isn’t permitted are the following -Bonded/ Sealed Seams -Meshed Seams -Kinetic Tape The above photographs are examples of seaming which will continue to be permitted for swimmers, note the stitching is raised on the outside of the fabric 12. FINA rules apply to each event A supplementary rule exists for those who wish to start in the water rather than on a starting platform. 13. Students should be aware of the rule for touches and turns for each stroke (refer to rules). For breaststroke and butterfly both hands must touch the wall. 14. All events will operate under the one-start rule. At the end of each race, swimmers will wait until the referee’s indication before they exit the pool. 15. The organiser may combine relay events if entries are low. 16. Marshalling: Competitors are to report to the marshal before their race. In relay events one team member should report to the marshal. 17. For zone events, a decision on whether the next race start will be over the top before swimmers exit from the previous race will be made on the day. The over the top start will apply for champion of champions and the individual championships. 18. The qualifying process from the zone events to the champion of champions will be the fastest 16 times for each race, across all four zones (winning the zone does NOT give automatic qualification). Limit of 4 students per school 19.
