A swim off occurs at the beginning of each QUARTER. Each team lines up at their respective 2 metre mark (goal LINE). When the referee BLOWS the whistle each swimmer sprints up the pool to the half distance line where the referee has thrown or released the ball. The player that reaches the ball first passes it BACK to one of their teammates for the first possession.

A coin is tossed before the game by the captains in the presence of the referees, and the WINNER to have the choice of ends. A jump ball can occur when the during the swim off the throw or released ball gives one team the advantage over the other or when the referee cannot decide which team should have possession. This occurs for the same reasons a jump ball in basketball would or a toss up in netball.
