International Competitive Swimming (OPEN)

Postby Achaea-Graecia » Wed Oct 06, 2010 6:13 pm

Welcome to the semi-annual International Competitive Swimming events!

Even without previous experience, your country's athlete can be trained and up to speed in the latest with swimming technique, forms, and aquatic grace overall. Your athlete can train with Achaea-Graecia's famed swimming coaches, familiar with training all species of creatures to adept their swim to a near water sprint.

See the list below to mark what events your athlete is interested in participating in. There is a maximum limit of three events per athlete.

Event List

If you aren't familiar with any of the events, links are available for each one for you to understand the concept.

Freestyle Events:

100 Freestyle
200 Freestyle
400 Freestyle

Note: Backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke (100 or 200) events have been condensed into the individual medley events. "Medley" means a mixture of the four basic swimming strokes, backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke, and front crawl (freestyle) in that order.

Medley Events:

200 Individual Medley
400 Individual Medley


If you are unfamiliar with the basics and rules of swimming, there are only a few.
1. The swimmer cannot touch the lane lines.
2. The swimmer cannot touch the bottom of the pool.
3. The swimmer must be standing on the dive board until the buzzer is sounded.
4. The swimmer cannot flip turn anywhere short of the wall.
5. The swimmer must touch the wall to finish.

The numbers before each event name indicate how many meters the swimmer will swim in the event. The pools are 25 meters in length. If the event calls for 100 meters, the swimmer will swim to one end, flip turn off of the wall, swim back, and the process is repeated until the swimmer has swum a total of four pool lengths.


Points are rewarded with the fastest time in each completed event. The individual with the highest score at the end of the competition is the winner. A second place, third place, and runner up award are rewarded to respective competitors.

Race results appear in this thread, once it is closed. Final results between all contestants will appear in a separate linked thread. If there are ten to sixteen individual contestants, the final results will be pushed back to the latest of December 10th. If there are any less than ten individual contestants, the final results will appear November 30th.

As time goes on, events with one or less participants will be removed to avoid clutter. Participants by themselves in any event will be asked to drop the event or select another as it will be removed.

The events will be scorinated by xkorinate.

At the request of the OP, I have undertaken some edits in this thread.

This is not something I'll necessarily do in this forum regularly, and does not imply a specific endorsement of this event on my part.

But I'm certainly happy to help enthusiastic new NS Sport participants where I can.

Name: Andrew Concannon
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Country: Krytenia
Number: 9
Accomplishments: Krytenian Junior Champion, 200m Individual Medley
Desired Events: 400m Free, 200m IM, 400m IM

Andrew Concannon, a bright young prospect from the Krytenian city of Bradwell, has been put forward to take part in this competition. His coach, Scott Gillingham, feels it will be good for him to take part in international competition without the pressures of being a national representative, as well as making him well-rounded across the four- and eight-length disciplines.

It's also a rare opportunity for the youngster to take part in competitive short-course racing.

I'm locking given the deletion of the OP.

However, note that A-G is not DOS, and is free to restart this event with another nation.
