The Rules have beenupdated to comply with changes and clarifications made by FINA at their July, 2013Barcelona Congress. World records set at a sanctioned Masters meet in Canada, underMSC Rules, are recognized by FINA.The MSC 2013-2017 Rule Book consists of the General Rules (GR), Swimming Rules(SW), Open Water Swimming Rules (OWS) and Appendices. The format is based on astand-alone version initially developed in 2008 by the FINA Masters TechnicalCommittee. Rules prefaced with an “M” (e.g., MSW) are the original FINA Masters rule;rules prefaced with a “CM” (e.g., CMSW) are Canadian variations or interpretations ofthe FINA rule. Wherever possible the FINA numbering system is retained. It is similar tothe SNC numbering system.These rules are posted on the MSC website in English and French, in standard and hippocket format. If there is a conflict between versions, the English standard-formatversion shall prevail.Please contact the MSC Rules Committee Chair if you have questions, comments orsuggested corrections at Rules@MastersSwimming.caMSC Rules Committee:Chris Smith (Chair), Ralph Chown, Ed Evelly, Bryan Finlay, Greg King, Patricia Niblett,Cynthia Pincott, Mike Stamhuis and Dave Wilkin (Ex officio).Approved: December 16, 2013Masters Swimming Canada 2013-2017 Rule Book v2014-07-30i
