FOREWORD<br />
TIM REDDISH - DIRECTOR OF DISABILITY SWIMMING<br />
Welcome to this guide for the Great Britain Swimming Team for the Paralympic Games, Athens 2004.<br />
In Sydney, Great Britain attained third place on the Gold Medal Table behind Canada and Spain. Since 2000,<br />
Great Britain were European Champions in 2001 ahead of rivals Spain and also finished top of the medal table<br />
at the 2002 International Paralympic Committee World Swimming Championships.<br />
The team for Athens contains both first time and experienced Paralympic swimmers and <strong>staff</strong>, some of whom<br />
are competing in their fifth and sixth Paralympic Games. The experience of these swimmers combined with a<br />
highly skilled team of <strong>staff</strong> will enable Great Britain to send its best ever prepared swimming team to the Games.<br />
The team is a cohesive unit consisting of 34 swimmers and 16 <strong>staff</strong> who work together for the benefit of the<br />
swimmers.<br />
The aim for Athens will be for the Great Britain team to win more gold medals than in Sydney with<br />
a smaller team.<br />

Director of Disability Swimming<br />

MEDIA PROTOCOL<br />
FOR MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH PARALYMPIC SWIMMING SQUAD<br />
The media protocol has been designed to help achieve an understanding between all media and those representing<br />
the British Paralympic team in swimming. It aims to create opportunities for the media as well as appreciate the<br />
commitments of athletes and <strong>staff</strong>. This media protocol will be utilised leading up to and during the Paralympic<br />
Games in Athens.<br />
The protocol recognises that everybody is present at a major competition to do a job - whether they are athletes,<br />
team <strong>staff</strong> or the media. Each group experiences their own pressures to deliver, however, consideration of each other’s<br />
circumstances, roles and responsibilities will help ensure everybody has a successful and productive experience.<br />
As a rule of thumb, all media enquiries relating to members of the British Paralympic Team in Athens (and earlier in<br />
Cyprus) should be routed via the team press office. The key contact for swimming in that press office will be Caroline<br />
Searle (Greek mobile number: [00 30] 6946 167253). A landline number will also be available for the BPA press office<br />
at the Games in due course.<br />
In Athens, British Swimming communications officer Amanda Smith will be handling the media at the swimming venue<br />
on a daily basis, including any on the spot interview requests.<br />
Early access to any British Paralympic Team member prior to the Paralympic Games<br />
Access to swimmers, the Performance Director (PD) and coaches will be limited to press conferences and/or individual<br />
interviews that may be scheduled at the BPA holding camp in Cyprus.<br />
Access to the Director of disability swimming (PD), Tim Reddish MBE during the Paralympic Games<br />
Media requests in relation to the PD should go through the BPA Press office by telephone or through Amanda Smith<br />
at the swimming venue. Those wishing to put a question to the PD should provide as much warning as possible so the<br />
PD can identify a window of opportunity to respond. If the PD is unable to respond in person an alternative will be<br />
arranged if possible. During the competition the PD will only give his views on the performances of Team GB swimmers<br />
as a whole. Due to the demands of the job at hand, the PD’s time will be limited so prior notice to any requests would<br />
be greatly appreciated.<br />
Access to the British coaches during the Paralympic Games<br />
Due to the nature of the role of a coach for Disability Swimming it may not be possible for the media to gain access to<br />
a specific coach post heats and/or finals. If a specific coach is unavailable in person then an alternative will be arranged<br />
if possible. Comments on the overall team performance will only be given by the PD.<br />
Access to Swimmers or Team Staff during competition<br />
Requests for interviews with swimmers or team <strong>staff</strong> must go through the BPA press office by telephone or through<br />
Amanda Smith at the venue. Whereas media deadlines will always be considered, these interviews will be arranged at<br />
a time the swimmer or coach can be made available. This is obviously due to the demands of the competition. Athletes<br />
and team coaches will only comment on their relevant performances. Overall comments will be provided by the PD or<br />
the Team Manager, sometimes via Amanda Smith. The Team Manager must always be aware of the exact location of<br />
every athlete or member of <strong>staff</strong> at all times.<br />
Access to swimmers and coaches will be limited to the official mixed zone, press conferences or through prior<br />
arrangements made via the BPA press office or through Amanda Smith at the venue. All swimmers will be<br />
encouraged to speak to the media at this point.<br />
6
However, due to the need to recover by ‘’swimming down’’ in another pool immediately after an event, this time will<br />
be limited - especially between heats and finals - and it is envisaged the media will collect at a suitable vantage point<br />
to be informed as a group rather than as individuals.<br />
Amanda Smith will try to obtain quotes from swimmers if, for whatever reason, access to the athlete has been limited<br />
further. These will hopefully be provided before swim-down, lactate or drug testing. If it is not possible to meet these<br />
needs then interviews will have to take place following the swim-down / medal presentation.<br />
If a swimmer has achieved a notable result their specific coach will make themselves available to the media at the end<br />
of the session. It is envisaged the media officer or PD Tim Reddish will be present during interviews where possible.<br />
Media not present at the Paralympic Games<br />
Not all media will be accredited for the Paralympic Games. Media wishing to make enquiries by telephone can do<br />
so via the BPA press office in the UK (01225) 383518 or via the British Swimming media team on 01509 632237.<br />
Swimmers, <strong>staff</strong> or the PD should not be contacted directly. Their time is limited and therefore the various press<br />
offices will arrange for information to be forwarded at a convenient moment.<br />
British Swimming encourages the sport to be covered by all media, present or not present. However, all media should<br />
understand that priority has to be given to those who are in attendance at the Paralympic Games. Efforts will be made<br />
to meet all requests and British Swimming asks that the protocol be respected at all times.<br />
Miscellaneous<br />
All media requests will be considered on their individual merits and decisions made in the best interests of the British<br />
Paralympic Team. Several requests for separate interviews at the same time will be dealt with in order of deadlines.<br />
Media with the tightest deadline will be dealt with first.<br />
If photographers require access to members of the British Paralympic team or non-action shots away from the<br />
competition then all requests should be made through the British Team Press office or British Swimming media office.<br />
All media enquiries should be made to the British Paralympic Team Press Office or via Amanda Smith at the venue.<br />

NEWCOMER’S GUIDE TO SWIMMING<br />
Swimmers often talk using strange abbreviations and words that don’t apply to the outside world.<br />
Below is a simple glossary of some of these terms.<br />
PB - Personal best time<br />
Splits - The time at each 50m turn. Swimmers will monitor these to check how they paced a race.<br />
Taper - Prior to any big competition, a swimmer will ‘taper’. All this really means is that they rest they cut back the<br />
amount of training that they do and decrease the intensity.<br />
Free - Freestyle / front crawl<br />
Breast - Breaststroke<br />
Fly - Butterfly<br />
Back - Backstroke<br />
IM - Individual medley (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle). At the Paralympic Games there is a 200m IM<br />
(a swimmer swims 50m of each above stroke) and a 150m IM for classifications SM3 and SM4 (50m of each stroke<br />
excluding butterfly). In a medley relay, the backstroke is first which addresses the fact that backstrokers can’t do a<br />
dive takeover. Four swimmers complete 50m or 100m each (depending whether it’s a 4x50m or 4x100m relay) in the<br />
following order: backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle.<br />
Long Course - The Paralympic Games are being held in long course format, which means that all events take place in<br />
a 50m pool. Short course events are those held in a 25m pool.<br />
Shaving-down - Most swimmers shave the hair from their bodies for a big meet. Although they will remove almost all<br />
of their body hair, the actual purpose is to remove the top layer of skin. This increases the sensitivity and “feel” for the<br />
water. Even though a lot of swimmers will wear all-over body suits at the Paralympic Games, shaving will remain an<br />
important psychological step in getting ready for a race.<br />
The eight fastest swimmers from the heats will swim in the final. However, where there are less than eight entrants,<br />
the race will be swum as a straight final.<br />
The lane order for finals is decided from the times recorded in the heats (or in entry times in the case of a straight<br />
final). The fastest qualifier swims in lane four, second fastest in lane five, third in lane three, fourth in lane six, fifth<br />
in lane two, sixth in lane seven, seventh in lane one and eighth in lane eight. Theoretically, this creates a spearhead<br />
format in the race.<br />

HISTORY OF THE PARALYMPICS<br />
The Paralympic Games originate from 1948 when a sports competition was organised for World War II veterans with<br />
a spinal cord injury in Stoke Mandeville, England. Four years later athletes from Holland joined the event and so the<br />
international Paralympic movement was born.<br />
The first recognised Paralympic Games were held in Rome in 1960 and immediately followed the Olympics.<br />
Here, around 400 athletes from 23 countries competed in six different sports, including swimming.<br />
Today, the Games are an elite sports event for athletes from six different disability groups competing in 19 sports<br />
and the last Games in Sydney in 2000 involved more athletes that the 1998 Commonwealth Games.<br />
Swimming has been a part of the Games since its conception. Swimmers compete in events ranging from 50m to<br />
400m. This differs slightly from the Olympic Games where swimmers compete in events up to 800m for women and<br />
1500m for men.<br />
This year 580 swimmers from 58 countries have registered for the Games.<br />

LAYMAN’S GUIDE TO CLASSIFICATIONS<br />
Swimming is the only sport that combines the conditions of limb loss, cerebral palsy (coordination and movement<br />
restrictions), spinal cord injury (weakness or paralysis involving any combination of the limbs) and other disabilities<br />
(such as Dwarfism (little people); major joint restriction conditions) across classes.<br />
Classes 1-10 - are allocated to swimmers with a physical disability<br />
Classes 11-13 - are allocated to swimmers with a visual disability<br />
Class 14 - is allocated to swimmers with an intellectual disability<br />
The Prefix S to the class denotes the class for freestyle, backstroke and butterfly<br />
The Prefix SB to the class denotes the class for breaststroke<br />
The Prefix SM to the class denotes the class for individual medley<br />
The range is from the swimmers with severe disability (S1, SB1, SM1) to those with the minimal disability<br />
(S10, SB9, SM10)<br />
In any one class some swimmers may start with a dive or in the water depending on their condition.<br />
This is factored in when classifying the athlete.<br />
The examples are only a guide - some conditions not mentioned may also fit the following classes.<br />
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM<br />
S1 SB1 SM1 - Swimmers in this class would usually be wheelchair bound and may be dependent on others for their<br />
every day needs. Examples: Swimmers with very severe coordination problems in four limbs or have no use of their legs,<br />
trunk, hands and minimal use of their shoulders only. Usually only swim on their back.<br />
S2 .SB1 SM2 - Examples: Swimmer able to use their arms with no use of their hands, legs or trunk or have severe<br />
co-ordination problems in 4 limbs.<br />
S3 SB2 SM3 - Examples: Swimmers with reasonable arm strokes but no use of their legs or trunk; swimmers with severe<br />
coordination problems in all limbs and swimmers with severe limb loss to four limbs.<br />
S4 SB3 SM4 - Examples: Swimmers who use their arms and have minimal weakness in their hands but have no use of<br />
their trunk or legs; swimmers with coordination problems affecting all limbs but predominantly in the legs; swimmers<br />
with limb loss to 3 limbs.<br />
S5 SB4 SM5 - Examples: Swimmers with full use of their arms and hands but no trunk or leg muscles; swimmers with<br />
coordination problems;<br />
20
S6 SB5 SM6 - Examples: Swimmers with full use of their arms and hands with some trunk control but no useful leg<br />
muscles; swimmers with coordination problems (usually these athletes walk); swimmers with major limb loss of 2 limbs;<br />
Little People (< 130cm for women and 137cm for men)<br />
S7 SB6 SM7 - Examples: Swimmers with full use of their arms and trunk with some leg function; coordination or<br />
weakness problems on the same side of the body; major limb loss of 2 limbs.<br />
S8 SB7 SM8 - Examples: Swimmers with full use of their arms and trunk with some leg function; limb loss of 2 limbs;<br />
swimmers with the use of one arm only<br />
S9 SB8 SM9 - Unless there is an underlying medical condition usually all of these athletes will start out of the water.<br />
Examples: Swimmers with severe weakness in one leg only; swimmers with very slight coordination problems; swimmers<br />
with one limb loss<br />
S10 SB9 SM10 - Examples: Swimmers with very minimal weakness affecting the legs; swimmers with restriction of hip<br />
joint movement; swimmers with both feet deformed; swimmers with minor limb loss of part of a limb.<br />
VISUALLY IMPAIRED CLASSES<br />
S11 SB11 SM11 - These swimmers are unable to see at all and are considered totally blind. They must wear blackened<br />
goggles if they swim in this class. They will also require someone to tap them when they are approaching a wall.<br />
S12 SB12 SM12 - These swimmers can recognise the shape of a hand and have some ability to see. There is a large<br />
range of vision ability within this class.<br />
S13 SB13 SM13 - Swimmers who are the most sighted but are legally considered to be blind.<br />
INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY<br />
S14 SB14 SM14 - Swimmers who have a recognised intellectual impairment according to international standards as<br />
recognised by the World Health Organisation ie IQ testing of 75 and below.<br />
S14 Swimmers are not competing at the Athens Paralympics<br />
