SPLIT TIMES:
The procedure for obtaining an 'Official Split' now requires that coaches make the
request to the session referee or meet management on the “Official Split Request”
form prior to the race. The split for the lead-off leg in relays will still be regarded
as an official split and therefore no request by coaches is needed for relays.
However, in the new 'mixed gender' relays, lead-off times/splits are not
considered “official splits' as per international practice. Meet management
requires that any coach wishing to rely on a time achieved by the swimmer for an
interval shorter than the total distance of the event shall so advise the Referee
prior to the commencement of the session (or event) in question.
