MEDIA PROTOCOL FOR TEAM GB AQUATICS SQUADThe media protocol has been designed to help achieve an understanding between all media and those representingTeam GB in aquatics events. It aims to create opportunities for the media as well as appreciate the commitments ofathletes and staff. This media protocol will be utilised leading up to and during the Olympic Games in Athens.The protocol recognises that everybody is present at a major competition to do a job – whether they are athletes,team staff or the media. Each group experiences their own pressures to deliver, however, consideration of each other’scircumstances, roles and responsibilities will help ensure everybody has a successful and productive experience.EARLY ACCESS TO ANY TEAM GB MEMBER PRIOR TO THE OLYMPIC GAMESA media blackout is in place during the run up to the aquatic events. Access to swimmers, the NPD and coaches willbe limited to press conferences that may be scheduled at the BOA holding camp in Cyprus.ACCESS TO NPD BILL SWEETENHAM DURING THE OLYMPIC GAMESMedia requests in relation to the NPD should go through the Press Attaché. Those wishing to put a question to theNPD should provide as much warning as possible so the NPD can identify a window of opportunity to respond. If theNPD is unable to respond in person, the Press Attaché will pass on the NPD’s views. During the competition the NPDwill only give his views on the performances of Team GB swimmers/divers as a whole. Due to the demands of the jobat hand, the NPD’s time will be limited so prior notice to any requests would be greatly appreciated.ACCESS TO THE BRITISH COACHES DURING THE OLYMPIC GAMESFollowing morning heats a coach or coaches will be available to comment on the heats as well as prospects for thesemi-finals and finals. If a situation arises, however, that demands the coaches’ time then an alternative will be offeredto the media or the Press Attaché will pass on relevant information.After the final race of each day a coach or coaches with relevance to that evening’s finals will make themselvesavailable to the media at a location within the venue. This will be co-ordinated through the Press Attaché. Thesecoaches will only speak on their swimmers’ performances. Comments on the overall team performance will only begiven by the NPD.ACCESS TO SWIMMERS OR TEAM STAFF DURING COMPETITIONRequests for interviews with swimmers or team staff must go through the Press Attaché. Whereas media deadlineswill always be considered, these interviews will be arranged at a time the swimmer or coach can be made available.This is obviously due to the demands of the competition on time. Athletes and team coaches will only comment ontheir relevant performances. Overall comments will be provided by the NPD or a coach, sometimes via the PressAttaché. The Team Manager must always be aware of the exact location of every athlete or member of staff at alltimes.Access to swimmers and coaches will be limited to the official mixed zone, press conferences or through priorarrangements made via the Press Attaché. All swimmers will be encouraged to speak to the media at this point.However, due to the need to recover by ‘’swimming down’’ in another pool immediately after an event, this timewill be limited – especially between heats, semi-finals and finals - and it is envisaged the media will collect at agood vantage point to be informed as a group rather than as individuals.5

The Press Attaché will try to obtain quotes from swimmers if, for whatever reason, access to the athlete has beenlimited further. These will hopefully be provided before swim-down, lactate or drug testing. If it is not possible tomeet these needs then interviews will have to take place following the swim-down.If a swimmer has achieved a notable result their specific coach will make themselves available to the media at theend of the session. It is envisaged the Press Attaché or Team Manager Craig Hunter will be present during interviewswhere possible.MEDIA NOT PRESENT AT THE OLYMPIC GAMESNot all media will be accredited for the Olympic Games yet the Press Attache in Athens and Communications team inthe UK will try to look after all enquiries via phone or email. The same protocols should be followed with all enquiriesgoing through the Press Attaché. Swimmers, staff or the NPD should not be contacted directly. Their time is limited andtherefore the Press Attaché’ will arrange for information to be forwarded at a convenient moment.British Swimming encourages the sport to be covered by all media, present or not present. However, all media shouldunderstand that priority has to be given to those who are in attendance at the Olympic Games. Efforts will be made tomeet all requests and British Swimming asks that protocol be respected at all times.MISCELLANEOUSAll media requests will be considered on their individual merits and decisions made in the best interests of Team GB.Several requests for separate interviews at the same time will be dealt with in order of deadlines. Media with thetightest deadline will be dealt with first.If photographers require access to members of Team GB or non-action shots away from the competition then allrequests should be made through the Press Attaché.All media enquiries should be made to the Press Attaché. If unavailable the media should approach the Team Manager.CONTACT DETAILSIn Athens: Dave Richards, Team GB Press Attaché - Aquatics(+44) 07789 926136(+44) 01509 632237david.richards@swimming.orgCraig Hunter, Team GB Manager Swimming(+44) 0777 181 4929In the UK: Martin Petty, British Swimming Press Officer(+44) 01509 632237, (+44) 07968 411689martin.petty@swimming.orgAmanda Smith, British Swimming Press Officer(+44) 01509 632238, (+44) 07876 652318amanda.smith@swimming.org6

BRITISH SWIMMING - AN OLYMPIC HISTORYCOMPILED BY STUART FARMER MEDIA SERVICES LTDSwimming has been included as an event in every one of the 26 modern Olympiads beginning with the Athens eventin 1896, which was swum on open water in the Bay of Zea, with Women’s distances being included for the first timein Stockholm in 1912.Great Britain first entered a team at the 1900 games in Paris and have only missed competing in the swimming eventsonce since – in St Louis in 1904, when uniquely for the Olympics the events were all swum in a 110 yard pool.The Men’s 100m Freestyle and 400m Freestyle, first swam at the 1896 games, are the oldest events still in theOlympic programme and have been included every year except 1900 in Paris. The Men’s 1500m Freestyle was firstincluded in 1906.The swimming programme settled into a uniform schedule between 1908 and 1952 where in each instance the Menonly swam the 100m, 400m and 1500m Freestyle, the 100m Backstroke, the 200m Breaststroke and the 800m Freestylerelay, with just a 400m Breaststroke event added in 1912 and 1920.Butterfly was first seen at the 1956 games in Melbourne where the men swam the 200m version and the Women swamover 100m. A Medley Relay was added for Rome in 1960, with Tokyo in 1964 seeing the first Individual Medley as wellas a shorter Freestyle Relay. It wasn’t until the Mexico games in 1968 that we saw the first full programme much like itis today, with the only new events introduced since then being the 50m Freestyle for men in Seoul 1988 and for Womenin Atlanta 1996.The Women’s programme has followed a similar route with just two gold medals up for grabs in 1912 and 1920 over100m Freestyle and the 400m Freestyle Relay. Between 1924 and 1952 the ladies only swam the same five events eachtime: 100m and 400m Freestyle, the 100m Backstroke, 200m Breaststroke and the 400m Freestyle Relay.The London games in 1948 saw the first eight lane 50m x 20m pool used at Wembley’s Empire Pool. Elsewhere some ofthe more obscure events from the turn of the century – the 200m obstacle race (where swimmers had to clamber overand under a row of boats), 100m Freestyle for Sailors (which was limited to members of the Greek navy), Underwater(where competitors got points for each metre swum and each second submerged) and the intriguingly titled “Plungefor distance” – are now consigned to history!TEAM GB PERFORMANCEThe following table illustrates the overall performance of the Great Britain swimming team at each Olympic games.It lists the total number of British swimming entries and how they all did in terms of making semi-finals and finalsat each Games. The COMP column denotes the size of the British Team in terms of competitors. Each finalist is thenfurther analysed to show his or her finishing position in the Final with G (gold), S (silver) and B (bronze) denoting thecolour of any medal won. All relay events are listed as one entry per team.As you can see the team has won a total of 62 medals (14 Gold, 22 Silver and 26 Bronze, counting any relay medalsas 1 and not 4) with just under 8% of the total British entries over the years going on to win a medal of some sort.GB has had a further thirty 4th place finishers whilst a total of 215 swimmers have made Olympic Finals (27% of totalentries), and 501 have swum in semi-finals.9

NEWCOMER’S GUIDE TO SWIMMINGSwimmers often talk using their own abbreviations and words that don’t apply to the outside world.Below is a simple glossary of some of these terms:PB – Personal Best timeSplits – The time at each 50m turn. Swimmers will monitor these to check how they paced a race.Taper – A swimmer will “taper” prior to any big competition. All this really means is that they rest. They will cut backthe amount of training they do and decrease the intensity. While a swimmer may swim over 12,000metres a day duringheavy training, they will swim as little as a few hundred metres the day before an event.Free – Freestyle or front crawl.Breast – Breaststroke.Fly – Butterfly.Back – Backstroke.IM – Individual Medley (Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Freestyle). At the World Championships there is a 200mIM (where the swimmer will swim 50m of each stroke in the order above) and a 400m IM (100m of each stroke inorder). Note that in a Medley relay, the order is changed so that backstroke is first. This addresses the fact thatbackstrokers can’t do a dive to take over. Four swimmers complete 100m each in the following order: Backstroke,Breaststroke, Butterfly, Freestyle.Swim-down – A recovery exercise which takes place several minutes after a swimmer completes his/her race.Competitors will swim at a low intensity in another pool in order to rid their body of lactic acid, which accumulatesin the muscles following high-intensity performances.Long Course – The Olympic Games are being held in long course format. This means that all events take place in a 50mpool. Short Course events are those held in a 25m pool. Short course times are faster than long course times becausethe swimmer completes more turns and can take advantage of the propulsion generated from pushing offthe wall.Shaving-down – Most swimmers shave the hair from their bodies for a big meet. Although they will removealmost all of their body hair, the actual purpose is to remove the top layer of skin. This increases the sensitivity and“feel” for the water. Even though a lot of swimmers will wear all-over body suits at the Olympic Games, shavingwill remain an important psychological step in getting ready for a race.The eight fastest swimmers from the heats will swim in the final. For the 50m, 100m and 200m events there will betwo semi-finals as well as heats. These are swum in the finals sessions and the eight fastest swimmers from thesemi-finals will go through to the final the following night.The lane order for finals is decided from times in the heats or semi-finals. The fastest qualifier will swim in lane 4,second fastest in lane 5, third in lane 3, fourth in lane 6, fifth in lane 2, sixth in lane 7, seventh in lane 1 and eighthin lane 8. Theoretically, this creates a spearhead format in the race.During the Olympic Games the one-start rule will apply. If any swimmer performs a false start they will bedisqualified from the race. A false start can involve falling in or moving before the gun. Swimmers must be still forthe start. Any swimmer moving before the start will be disqualified at the end of the race and the start should goahead regardless of the disqualification.41

NEWCOMER’S GUIDE TO DIVINGThe complexity of the dive is taken care of by its rating or difficulty, ranging from 1.2 for the easiest dive to 3.8or more.Flawless execution will include strong initiation into the dive and vertical entry into the water without splash. Diverscall this a “rip” entry. Between these parts of the dive the body will be carried in what are known as “positions”.These are the straight position (no bending at the hips or the knees), piked position (bending at the hips but notat the knees) or tucked position (body bunched up tightly, with the hands on the lower legs).Feet must always be together and toes pointed. Sometimes the announcer speaks of the “free position” whichimplies some twisting combined with one or more, usually at least two, of the other positions.The judge may award 1 to 10 points in half stage points. A table of the scores and how they should be awardedis as follows:Very good 8.5 - 10Good 6.5 - 8Satisfactory 5 – 6Deficient 2.5 – 4.5Unsatisfactory 0.5 – 2Completely failed 0The highest and lowest awards are discarded and the sum of the remainders multiplied by the degree of difficultyto give the points scored. For example, if a dive with a difficulty rating of 2.0 is awarded 4, 5, 5, 5, 6 the four andsix are discarded and the sum of the scores is multiplied by 2.0 to give a total of 30 points.Competition dives are performed from springboards set at 1metre or 3m above the water, or from the 5m, 7.5mor 10m platforms. The number of dives varies from one competition to another.69
