Division I Proposal - 2004-66-B
PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- SWIMMING AND DIVING -- OUT OF SEASON ACTIVITIES
Status: Adopted Final
Intent: In swimming and diving, to specify that outside the playing season, a student-athlete may be involved in in-pool conditioning activities and swimming-specific equipment may be used.
Bylaws: Amend 17.1.5.2.3, as follows:
"17.1.5.2.3 Conditioning Activities. Conditioning drills per Bylaw 17.1.5.2 that may simulate game activities are permissible, provided no offensive or defensive alignments are set up and no equipment related to the sport is used. In ice hockey, a student-athlete may be involved in on-ice conditioning activities, provided no equipment other than skates is utilized. In swimming and diving, a student-athlete may be involved in in-pool conditioning activities and swim-specific equipment (e.g., starting blocks, kickboards, pull buoys) may be used."
Source: NCAA Division I Board of Directors [Management Council (Pacific-10 Conference)].
Effective Date:August 1, 2005
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Playing and Practice Seasons
Rationale: Limiting the use of specialized swimming equipment such as starting blocks, kickboards, pull buoys, and paddles, as stated in the original proposal, may reduce the effectiveness of the eight hours for conditioning activities the proposal seeks to allow. The intent of the original proposal will be further enhanced by permitting the use of equipment necessary for effective in-water conditioning.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics): Could lessen the need for voluntary training in the pool beyond the eight-hour limit.
