Sometimes swimmers can get disqualified from a race. Whether you are a swimmer or a parent/carer of a swimmer, please don’t worry, this can happen from time to time.
Our coaches support all swimmers whatever the outcome of a race, so if something goes wrong, they are they to help.
There are a number of reasons for disqualification and these include starts, turns and stroke technique for example. You can download the World Aquatics guide to disqualification (DQ) codes to find out more.
If you have any questions, please discuss with one of the coaches.
