wishing to rely on a time achieved by the swimmer for an interval
shorter than the total distance of the event shall so advise the
Referee prior to the commencement of the session (or event) in
question. In such a case, Meet Management and the Referee will
undertake all appropriate steps as prescribed by their training to
assure the quality and integrity of interval times. Any time collected
according to this request will subsequently be recorded in a separate
event of the appropriate distance and stroke created for such a
purpose."
Swimming/Natation CanadaRule SW 10.1 Item 5
"where, due to facility or time limitations, swimming separated by gender would
not permit all swims to be completed while offering reasonable opportunities to

each gender.
In spite of this rule, any swimmer who achieves a record time at any level (club,
regional, provincial, national, etc, whether age-group or open) will not be
recognized for that record unless the coach has advised the referee prior to the
start of the session in which the is to be contested that there is a possibility of the
record being broken, and the referee ensures that the swimmer competes with
competitors of the same gender for his/her heat.
In the event that mixed gender swims are permitted pursuant to this policy, the
results will still be posted separately by the gender of swimmers.
