Conditions
There shall be separate LC and SC records for Male & Female swimmers, with Open, U/16 & U/14 classifications. U/16 & U/14 records are set using the swimmers age on the date the record is made.
Records will only be recognised if they are made by eligible competitors who are members of Sussex clubs affiliated to the Sussex County ASA and are swimming for that club. This rule does not apply if swimming in a competition as a member of the swim England SE Region team or swimming as a member of a National squad.
Records should be claimed on the official form provided on the Sussex county website and a record achieved in any licensed event in a certified pool will be automatically accepted. This does not preclude a swimmer from claiming a record at any other appropriate event but must be ratified by the administrator.
The pool shall be 25 metres in length for SC records and 50m for LC records.
For all records the start and finish shall be at an end of the pool.
Conversions from LC to SC or vice-versa are not acceptable for records.
County relay records will only be recognised if all swimmers in the team are members of and swimming for a single club. Squad teams (combined members of different clubs under a separate team name) are not eligible for records.
Records will only be recognised at competitions recorded with full AOE. Should the AOE fail and a meet continues with manual timing, then unless the current ASA regulations for recording with manual timing are in place, swims will not be recognised for record purposes.
