Club Championships | Rules & Eligibility Conditions
- Only registered financial Canterbury Taipans Swimming Club Members are eligible to compete in these Club Championships.
- Competitors can only compete in their assigned age group and events.
- Events will be swum as multi-age events with places awarded based on assigned age groups.
- Competitors are encouraged to nominate for as many eligible events as possible.
- Stroke age champions will be announced for both the Boys and Girls Divisions, with the overall Boys and Girls Club Champions to be decided via a total points system.
- The more events you nominate for and swim in – the more points you gain towards being the Club Champion.
- In the event of an equal points situation, a ‘swim-off’ will be held where each competitor chooses their favourite event from the evening, then swims this event again, to try and match their previous time. These competitors can swim different strokes and lengths to each other. Closest time to the original time wins the ‘swim off’.
- Being a club level event, there will be rule tolerance, meaning it is not necessary for swimmers to be technically correct – but they must start in a fair manner.
- Coaches reserve the right to re-start or re-run events, or disqualify individual competitors from events, should it be required.
Club Championships | Events & Age Groups
Club Championships | Awards & Records
First, second and third places will be awarded for each competitive age group, swimming stroke and race distance category.
In each age-competitive event, competitors can accrue points towards the Age Champion for each swimming stroke according to their placement.
The overall Boys and Girls Club Champions will be awarded to the swimmers with the highest overall points scored during the evening.
Points are awarded as follows:
5 points for each first place | 3 points for each second place | 1 point for each third place.
Reminder: Any tie-breaks will require you to try and match your previous race time in a swim-off with the closest time winning.

Course Information
Our first Starfish swim-level is aimed at introducing babies to the water in a fun, nurturing and safe learning environment.
These swim lessons will promote opportunities for you to bond with your baby alongside social interactions with other mums and caregivers in your local area.
Lessons foster confidence for both the baby and mother/caregiver in the water and provide practical takeaway skills to use at home or any swimming pool.
This introductory water familiarisation class is designed to build basic skills that prepare mums/caregivers and their infants for the enjoyable journey through our learn-to-swim levels.
Skills will be built through play, exploration and repetition starting with basic breath control and conditioning, movement through the water, and building trust.
Our dedicated Learn To Swim Pool is a heated magnesium infused hydrotherapy pool.
NB: Terms & Conditions apply.
See you there!

National Apprenticeship Week Reminder: Interested In Apprenticeship Pathways? | Talk With Industry Experts: First Break Outside Senior Library - THIS Monday 12 February
National Apprenticeship Week: Monday 12 - Friday 16 February 2024.
Apprenticeships place the power to make a better future firmly in your hands.
They build self-worth, create a sense of achievement and turn your personal strengths into a rewarding career.
It’s a learning pathway that builds character, confidence and commitment by learning on-the-job from real experiences, and from people who are invested in your development.
But most of all, apprenticeships and traineeships are about equipping yourself with a set of skills that open up a world of opportunity, and are yours to keep for a lifetime.
Snipping, shaping, serving, laying, lathing, leveling, fixing, fabricating, framing.
Do you want to find out more about apprenticeship pathways?
Visit the information tent that will be set up outside the Senior School Library during First Break on Monday 12 February.
