What Is A Pennant Swim?
In Sunraysia we host interclub or pennant swimming meets, this is normally the first step into competitive swimming.
These swimming meets are a lot of fun and all swimmers are encouraged to have a go. There is no entry fee for swimming at interclub events, however they do need to be registered with a local club & Swimming Victoria.
The age a swimmer is at the first Interclub meet is the age they will swim for all meets in the series (age as on the 1st of November of the season start). All SSI meets are supervised by referees and many swimmers may initially get disqualified for incorrect stroke, starts, turns and finishes. This is a valuable learning experience, so don't worry, work on the problem with your coach and try again next time.
