Step 2
Record the times and distances of the disabled athlete as you would all other swimmers for the 3 stroke medley and 400m freestyle.
Step 3
Use the student’s provisional classification to identify the correct adjusted standards for that student.
Refer to the following websites: Paralympics New Zealand (www.paralympics.org.nz), Swimming New Zealand (www.swimming.org.nz) or the Halberg Trust (www.halberg.co.nz) or contact your Sport Opportunity Advisor based at your local Regional Sports Trust for a copy of the adjusted standard.
Step 4
Use the adjusted standard (below) to assess the disabled swimmer as you would all other athletes to determine if they have achieved: Achievement, Merit or Excellence.
Step 5
Follow same steps as for all other students
