Friday Club Night
Friday is the focal point of CJ’s Swim Club. It offers swimmers the chance to compete and improve their personal best times as well as offering an environment for families to meet and socialize. The yummy BBQ is a great excuse for you have a night off cooking duties while watching your little champs having fun.
When: Friday.
Time: Races from 6.30pm to 8pm.
First club night for 2011: 7 October 2011. Please check the Club Night schedule for other dates.
Club Night Nominations
Once you become a paid up club member and we have received your contact email address, we will send out a “Nomination Notice” email on a Monday/Tuesday
informing you of the events that are available for the next Friday Club Night.
Please reply to our Race Secretary admin@cjsswimclub.com.au informing them of the races your child would like to participate in for the next Club Night.
Nominations close every Thursday, 6pm.
If your nomination is recieved late your child will not accrue points for that club night.
This is because the computer program automatically counts late nominations as first swims and unfair advantage would be given.
Club Night Event Schedule 2011 – 2012 season
Season starts on the 7 October 2011. Please find below link to the Event Schedule for the season.
You can join on any Club Night
Club Night Qualifying Times
We are conscious that swimmers should be placed in an event that best suits their ability. This is something that the coach will carefully monitor and advise you. But as a guideline, we have set out the Guideline times.
| Freestyle | Backstroke | Breastroke | Butterfly | |
| 12.5-25m | 16secs | 18 secs | 22 secs | 19 secs |
| 25 -50m | 25secs | 28 secs | 30 secs | 25 secs |
| 50 – 100m | 45secs | 49 secs | 53 secs | 46 secs |
- Swimmers will automatically graduate once they have achieved the qualifying times. 100m is swum at the coach’s discretion.
- When a swimmer moves from 25m to 50m, the greater distance must be swum at Club Nights from then on. Once a swimmer has qualified to swim up to a higher distance, you must continue to swim this distance otherwise you will not receive any further points for the “Progressive Point” award.
- However, going from 50m to 100m a swimmer can choose which event they would like to swim each night, but can only swim either/or.
- Once a time has been recorded, this then becomes their qualifying time for the next club night.
- When a swimmer moves up to the next distance they automatically gain 4 points.
- ONE START RULES apply on Club Night meets and any swimmer who is disqualified will not receive any points.
Progressive Points Award
To encourage participation and to award achievement, each club swimmer will be awarded certain number of points for each club night event. Points are awarded depending on the swimmer’s personal performance for that swim.
| Progressive Points Award Table | |
| 1 Point | More than 2.50 seconds slower than base time |
| 2 Points | Between 1.51 and 2.50 seconds slower than base time |
| 3 Points | Between 0.51 and 1.50 seconds slower than base time |
| 4 Points | Up to 0.50 seconds either side of base time |
| 5 Points | Between 0.51 and 1.50 seconds faster than base time |
| 6 Points | Between 1.51 and 2.50 seconds faster than base time |
| 7 Points | More than 2.50 seconds faster than base time. |
- A swimmer’s fastest time on club night becomes their new time. Carnival times do not come into consideration.
- 4 points are awarded for your first swim in a new stroke or distance.
- Points will be accumulated for all Club Nights throughout the season.
- For each stroke and distance, a swimmer’s new starting time for the season will be his/her best time swum the previous season, plus 3 seconds. For example, a previous best time of 32.0 seconds would become 35.0 seconds.
- In the case of wet weather, no points will be awarded if the entire Club Night is canceled. However, should the Club Night be canceled mid-way through, the swimmer will be allocated 4 points for any canceled swim in which they had nominated.
- A perpetual trophy for “Overall Points Winner” (boy or girl) will be awarded on Presentation night in 25 March 2012.
