Competitive Dive Safe video :COMPETITIVE STARTS for School Swimming Carnivals for Primary Students.
Please note: 4x 50m Relays will have swimmers 2 and 4 in water for a push start for their leg of the relay due to the shallow depth of Sans Souci Pool. Relay swimmers in the water must ensure the referee can clearly see their contact with the wall prior to changeover with incoming swimmer. Botany Bay PSSA follows DET School Sports Unit recommendation for swimmer holding onto the wall with arm extended (feet tucked)for push starting as seen in safe Diving Induction video re risk management.
Student confidence is very important and a student may prefer to start on pool deck or in water (push start) regardless of competence and these starts are acceptable to start a swimming race.
