Qualification
The Maccabiah
• Each country sets its own criteria
• Historically, Australian team selection has been
based on times – a set standard from a chosen
State or National event
• For 2017 the NSC will use a hybrid of times,
achievement and other factors to fit with the
NSC’s goals for the 2017 swimming team…..
NSC Goals for the 2017 Maccabiah Swimming Team:• To ensure that the best Jewish Swimmers in Australia
can/will attend
• To support all swimmers toward qualification
• To support all swimmers and families with their financial preparations
• To field relay teams in each age division (Open men, Open Women, Boys, Girls)
• To build on the management/coaching structure from 2013 with a view to providing better/more comprehensive support for the swimmers in Israel.
