Full attendance means swimmers are making all available sessions (7 per week). Any swimmers whose attendance level is deemed less than acceptable will have their position in the AM squad reviewed by the squad coach. PM Squad Membership requires swimmers to have met the Qualifying Standards in order to move
from Grade C to Grade B. Qualifying Times for Grade B All Grade B swimmers are required to make all 3 sessions per week as outlined above.
Failure to do so may result in a review of the swimmers position within the squad by the squad coaches.
Movement from the Grade PM2 lanes to the PM lanes is determined by times achieved in galas, based on 100M IM Consideration Times
and is reviewed on a regular basis by the PM Squad Coaches. Only swimmers who have met these consideration times,
or have achieved their Grade B times can move across.
Swimmers who have recently made the consideration standards will be notified by their coach of when/if they will be moving lanes (movement between lanes is at the Coaches discretion). Consideration Times for Moving from PM2 Lanes to PM Lanes Qualification for the PM2 Squad is determined by the PM Squad Coaches. Grade C is the first competitive grade for swimmers, therefore all PM2 swimmers must be able to swim 100M Free and 100m Individual Medley (including the fly length) without stopping as these are mandatory swims at all Grade C Galas. PM2 swimmers are required to attend all 3 sessions per week as outlined above, failure to do so may result in a review of the swimmers position within the PM2 squad by the Squad Coaches. The information relating to the Dolphin Swimming Club Rules can be found on the dedicated Rules and Information Link. Swimmers and parents are advised to familiarise themselves with the rules of the club.
Movement from the PM lanes to the AM lanes without Grade A Qualification times can be achieved based on the times achieved by the swimmers in galas, Consideration times from PM to AM are regularly reviewed by the AM squad coaches. Swimmers who have made the consideration times will be notified by their coach of if/when they will be moving to the AM squad. Consideration Times from PM to AM Squad
