1. Somerset ASA County Championships 2015

2. Where are we now? BS/ASA published the new structure in a revised format on 9 th October after our 2014 Development Meet concluded. BS/ASA state, “counties are requested to implement the recommendations in 2015, if possible, and should make preparations for full implementation in 2016”. The position of County Meet Manager has been advertised for some time.

3. Specific Issues BS/ASA requirements (Handout page 1) Dates – 28.2/1.3, 7/8.3, 15.3 (L/D S/C), 21/22.3.2015 Age based on 31st December Age Bands Essential or Desirable (focus on essential) Relays? On long distance day? County QT’s (Handout page 2)

4. The proposal Age as of 31 st December 2015. The minimum age for entry will still be 9 years on the last day of Championships. The majority of the old qualification times had been retained as they had already been adjusted down from the standard L2 QTs. A consideration time of the previous age group has been added to make allowance for those who jumped an age group. Consideration times will only apply to these swimmers whose DoB falls after the last day of the Championships.

5. The proposal In the event of the Championships being over- subscribed, swimmers with consideration times will be scratched from slowest to fastest, with equal percentage from each age group. Entries with No Times will be rejected. Entry times DO NOT have to be achieved at a licensed meet and DO NOT have to be in British Swimming Rankings table. These proposals will only apply for 2015 as an interim measure. From 2016, the recommended structure change will be implemented in full.

6. The proposal Other South West Counties Dorset : Remains the same as previous years Gloucestershire : Age of 31 st Dec Minimum age 10 years No consideration time QT similar to SASA Wiltshire :Age of 31 st Dec Minimum age 10 years No consideration time QT Similar to SASA Ranking times or Official Club times Devon :Age as 31 st Dec Minimum Age 10 year No consideration time Ranking times Cornwall :Unable to locate conditions QT indicates minimum age 10 years
