IPC Swimming has adopted the FINA 2010
approved list of swim suits.
Women’s suit is as outlined by FINA
Men’s suit is as outlined by FINA, however,
men are also permitted to wear the women’s suit outlined by
FINA. This arises from a recommendation received from the Working
Group on Rules that “The STC consider allowing males to wear a
costumer adhering to the female costume rules” due to male
swimmers who are concerned about:
Compensating for ‘body temperature control
issues’
Some
male athletes do not wish their scars to be on public display
Bursaries are available from "Official Sports London" to help people
who wish to become Swimming, Water Polo or Diving officials that will
cover the travel expenses course and some equipement costs
One
of the importnat roles in officitaing is mentoring new officials so
that we provide a consistent pool side environement for athletes and
coaches. Ralph Shortland - a senior London and Middlesex Referee
is holding a course for Mentor's on 30th January. If any officials who
are / are interested in mentoring officials please contact
Ann Van Beukelen --->
