Adjust the size of the Marshalling Area according to the needs of the meet
At NSW and Australian championshipswe use separate Marshalling Areas for Males and FemalesAt Area Meets, or other pools, this may not be possible
What do I need to do my job?My pencil caseWater– Marshals arestuck at the tableProgram – a completeone, from the RefereeDecide, with your fellowMarshals, which Programyou will pass on tofollowing Marshals
What do I need from my Pencil Case?A ruler, ortwoRed pensBlue/black pensHighlightersCo-ordinate with anyfellow Marshal
Get to the Marshalling Area earlyand set up your table
If a swimmer reportsearly, before you’refully set up, markthem off on theMaster ProgramDon’t forget totransfer thisinformation to yourHeat Sheetor to pass it on toother Marshals ifthe event is to beswum in anothersession
On your way to the Marshalling Area collect the Heat Sheets from the Chief RecorderThey’re also called UK Timing Sheets, and Judges’ SheetsCheck each event foropportunities toamalgamate or re-seedAn early amalgamationis a good amalgamation
Arrange the Heat Sheets for the first event, or two, on the table
and the Marshalling Area is ready for customers
The swimmers should come to the Marshalling Table to reportSometimes they will tell you their nameOften, they will point to their name for youSometimes they point in errorso, always read, aloud, to them, the name you are goingto markIf you’re not sure of the pronunciation, ask
When they report, mark them off, on the Heat SheetTell them their heat number and lane numberSome swimmers will ask if theycan report for two eventsbecause they are close togetherThey can be ‘half-marked’ toensure they aren’tamalgamated out of their nextevent
Ask the swimmers to sit in the seatsYounger swimmers probably willOlder ones may mill aboutDon’t stress it
Mark, on the Heat Sheets, those swimmers who withdraw, or who are reported as withdrawing

When does an event close?GR9.1.1 MARSHALLING PROCEDURE:This rule should be printed in the program,along with the starting instructionsAny swimmer who fails to report to the Marshal at leastten minutes prior to the scheduled time for the start ofthe session on that day if entered in the first or secondevents,or at the time of the start of an event at least two eventsprior to the event in which they are enteredshall be deemed to be withdrawn.10 minutes beforethe scheduled starttime2 events beforetheir eventNOTE:For example if entered in Event 9, the swimmer must have reported to theMarshal before the start of the first heat of Event 7.Each heat of 800 metre & 1500 metre events should be considered as an event. This isbecause of the length of these events.Where there are multiple 800 & 1500 metre heats, it is reasonable to ask athletes, or arepresentative, to report early to declare their intention to swim. For State meets withheats & finals, ALL swimmers must confirm their intention to swim in the morning
