2025 ASNZ RULES - UPDATED TO ALIGN WITH THE NEWLY ENFORCED REGULATIONS FROM WORLD AQUATICS
Outlined below is a quick summary of what has been changed:
Competition Regulation Updates
- Mixed Duet walk on time limit is 30 seconds (different from Women’s Free and Tech Duet)
- Penalties have been increased for most violations (please read the penalty chart thoroughly). Many are now 8 points from the total routine score, so are worth paying attention to.
- There is no longer a penalty for Free Combinations routines having less than 8 swimmers (although this still remains for Free Team, Tech Team, and Acrobatic Routines)
- Factoring and weighting of each of the three key parts of an Artistic Swimming routine have changed (Artistic Impression, Elements, and Difficulty). This is all calculated automatically through the ISS system we use at NZ competitions, which will be updated accordingly but is important to understand. This is attached in a separate document
- There have been no changes to the Master's Regulations.
