Selection for this team will be based on performances at the following meets:
- Cripps Tasmanian Sprint and Relay Championships
- Cripps Tasmanian Age and Open Championships
- Northern LC Regional Championships
- Southern LC Regional Championships
In the event of illness or injury which prevents a swimmer competing at the above meets, the Selection Committee may consider other official times swum during the current long course season, provided that a satisfactory medical certificate is provided. Team and event selection is ultimately at the discretion of the Selection Committee.
Expression of Interest
Swimmers wishing to be considered for this team are required to submit an Expression of Interest via this form on the Swimming Tasmania website from 15 January to 15 March 2021. Swimmers must only submit an Expression of Interest if they have achieved a selection standard as set out in the selection criteria below.
Number of events
The number of swims allocated to a team member is at the discretion of the Selection Committee AND (unless selectors consider exceptional circumstances apply) no swimmer will be allocated more than 6 individual events (due to the shorter meet program).
The full selection information for this meet can be found here.
Selection Standards
The following “Selection standards” are the minimum times required to be considered for selection in an event. Not all events are offered at all Championships - swimmers should check the Championship program on the School Sports Australia website to confirm which events are offered for their age group. Note that election standards do not apply to multi class swimmer selections and these selections are at the discretion of the selectors.
Swimmers who have not attained selection standard times may, in the absolute discretion of the Selection Committee, be selected in circumstances where no swimmer or less than the permitted entries have attained qualifying times, and the Selection Committee considers their performance to be suitable for selection in the circumstances.
