Organising an Event
| Guidelines for Branches, Meet Directors and Clubs |
| The National Technical Committee has produced Guidelines for Branches, Meet Directors and Clubs to assist Committees and Clubs with the processes and rules involved in hosting a masters swimming event. They are to be used as guidelines. |
|
| Guidelines for Organising Open Water Swims |
| This document has been developed to support the Open Water Swim Rules. It has been recognised that while the Open Water Swim Rules define some of the parameters for the conduct of an open water swim, there is a need for a document that assisted the organising committee of an open water swim to run an enjoyable, safe and financially rewarding event. |
| NOTE: to be read in conjunction with MSA Open Water Swimming Event Rules (NOV 2023) |
| Guidelines for Organising Postal Swims |
| The intention of this document is to provide uniformity for conducting Postal Swims sanctioned by Masters Swimming Australia. It is not the intention that this document replaces the National Rules but rather complements them and specific references have been made to the Rules where it is considered appropriate to emphasise that particular rule. |
| National Championships Swim Meet Guide |
| Organising any event can be a challenging task, let alone organising a National Championships. It takes years of preparation, and as the meet draws closer, it entails review and fine-tuning of each segment of the total event. Organising a National Championships can also be enjoyable and rewarding and there is often a tremendous sense of achievement when the task is successfully completed.This publication, is the result of years of experience by past organisers of this event, and has been compiled to assist you to run a successful National Championships or any swim meet.In the process, recommendations from the final reports of the organising committees of each National Championships have been considered by the National Swim Meet Committee and, if appropriate, added to the Guide. This edition also includes cross-references to the Rules and By-Laws of Masters Swimming Australia. It is a dynamic document and we welcome your suggestions to improve it. Please respect the advice the Guide contains and adhere to the timelines quoted. It is suggested that a copy of the relevant section be given to each member of your Organising Committee. This will assist greatly in the conduct of a successful event. |

2025 Insurance Update
Masters Swimming Australia (MSA) advises that following a comprehensive due diligence process we confirm that we have entered a new insurance cover arrangement and partnership with
V-Insurance Group (VI), effective 1 January 2025 however background and transition work continues.
VI is Australia’s largest specialist sports and leisure Insurance Broker with their Managing Director, Mr Rob Veale bringing over 30 years of experience to Masters Swimming insurance affairs. Further, VI has client experience with circa 38 national and peak body sports organisations including Tennis Australia, Triathlon Australia, Paddle Australia, Rowing Australia, Basketball Australia, Netball Australia, Diving Australia and Athletics Australia and are also the well regarded insurance brokers for Swimming Australia.
