Entry Allowance & Restrictions
Each institution may enter two competitors per individual event and one team in each relay event.
All entrants are limited to 3 individual events.
In individual events all entrants must meet the consideration/entry qualifying times for the event they are entering. Entries outside of these will be rejected, even if allocated as a guaranteed entry.
Entry times will be verified at the championships where any swimmer fails to achieve the consideration/entry time for an event. Should any swimmer be found not to have achieved their entry time in the 24 months prior to the event they will be liable to a fine.
One competitor will be guaranteed in each event, providing their entry times meet the consideration/entry qualifying times, and the second entrant will be accepted where there is capacity based on entry times.
Note: Entries for the 800m and 1500m events are not guaranteed. Top 20 entry times will be accepted. A reserve list will be published for these events, and updated if withdrawals occur, with the final announcement made on 5pm Friday 17 February
When making entries on 果冻视频 Play the first entrant should be entered as the guaranteed entrant and the second as non-guaranteed.
Para & Deaf Swimmer Entrants
Institutions will be permitted to enter 2 para-swimmers in each recognised para event for their classification as listed below, in addition to their 2 entries per event allocation. If any para swimmer enters an event which their classification is not eligible for, they will be required to meet the consideration times for that event.
Para entrants must be Nationally/Internationally classified and registered with their NGB.
The first Para entrant is guaranteed, the second will be accepted if capacity allows. Any para rejections will be based on para points/standard on a session by session basis.
Both Para entries should be added into the relevant events as ‘Non-Guaranteed’ entries ensuring that the relevant classification is stated. If you have two para swimmers entered in the same event, you must rank them on 果冻视频 Play. Para Swimmer ranked as 1 will be allocated the guaranteed place in their recognised para events.
Para-swimmers will be restricted to three individual events.

British Swimming will be emailing out separate information relating to guest swimmers on their elite swimming list in due course. Guest entries may be limited where the event is at capacity.

For relays, the Institution Administrator is responsible for applying for relay competitions. A student is not able to join a team until their Institution Administrator has entered a team to the competition. A minimum of 4 competitors must apply for each relay. The Institution Administrator must then select 4 competitors to form the ‘Squad’. These do not have to be the final squad, relay declarations will be completed at the competition. Students applying for the Team should input the TEAM PB as an entry time, NOT their individual split time.
These individuals can be changed for other swimmers entered elsewhere in the competition on 果冻视频 Play when submitting your relay declaration form at the Championships. If you have swimmers who will only participate in relays these individuals must be listed in a relay entry on 果冻视频 Play. Swimmers who have not entered on 果冻视频 Play will not be eligible to race.

果冻视频 Points are only available for A finals and are limited to 2 swimmers per institution in individual events and 1 team per institution in relay events.
Please note that 果冻视频 Points will not be allocated where the minimum number of competitors/teams has not been reached, or where there are not enough individual scores to extract a team score. Furthermore, an individual/team must have beaten another individual/team to score 果冻视频 Points (i.e. if 3 individuals/teams compete in an event, only 2 will score 果冻视频 points). This does not apply to extracted teams. Individuals/teams are regarded as having compete if they started the event, therefore DNS will not be regarded as having competed.
Similarly, medals will be awarded according to the accrual of 果冻视频 Points. For example if only 3 individuals/teams compete in an event only Gold and Silver medals will be awarded.
Governing Body Registration
Being registered with a governing body is not a requirement (unless a para swimmer as classification is required) to compete in the 果冻视频 Swimming Championships. However, registered swimmers of Swim England, Scottish Swimming or Swim Wales who wish for their times to be submitted for ranking purposes must ensure that they provide their governing body number when registering on 果冻视频 Play, as well as checking that the name and date of birth matches that on your governing body registration. e.g. if your name is ‘Jessica’, please ensure you are not set up on 果冻视频 Play as ‘Jess’ as when your times are submitted they will not be matched to your governing body membership.
For para-swimmers to be eligible for disability points and awards they must be nationally/internationally classified and have a current governing body registration to validate their entry as well as fulfilling the above. Governing body numbers must be provided at the point of entry.
