GENERAL RULES

Surface events

Surface events must be swum on the surface on the water (meaning that some part of the body or snorkel must be above water level) except on the start and the turns where swimmers may remain up to 15m underwater.

In all surface events a snorkel must be worn.

Apnoea

After the start competitors must remain with faces in the water until the finish has been touched.  Lifting the head before touching will cause disqualification.  The even can be swum completely underwater or on the surface without breathing.

Fins

Mono fins must be made of fibreglass or carbon fibre without any attachments other than the foot pieces.

Bifins

Maximum length of bifins must be no more than 45cms for bifin events. Competitors with fins longer than this length will be classed as Monofin swimmers and will compete in the Mono events

For Relay events

Relays can be made up of all men or all women or two men and two women
