YOUR ENTRIES
Contact
Tetkin Yeo at tetkinyeo@yahoo.com or
603/643-5362 if you need to make any changes in your entry. We will try to make any changes you request
including adding events, switching events, scratching events, or entering draft
relay line-ups. At the meet, we will
not allow any switching of swimmers from one individual event to another. You will have an opportunity to provide or
revise relay line-ups at the meet. If
you send in any changes, make sure to bring the verification codes for those
revised times or added events. Bring
cash or a check to pay for any added events.
SCRATCHES
Coaches MUST turn in
scratch sheets by 12:25 Saturday and 8:25 Sunday. Scratch sheets will be available in the coaches packets at the
meet. Any swimmer who does not appear
behind the blocks at the appropriate time will be considered scratched from
that one event.
VERIFICATION PACKETS
Bring
verification packets to the meet but do not turn them in. We will find you if there is a problem.
RELAYS
Coaches should either
inform Tetkin of relay names and order before the day of the meet or fill out
relay slips at the meet. Fill out a
relay slip if you choose to change your names or order of swimmers the day of
the meet. Feel free to send Tetkin
draft names ahead of time. We also need
to know the names of all relay only participants before the meet starts.
HEAT AND LANE ASSIGNMENTS
There
will be no bullpen. Heats and lane
assignments will be posted in the back pool and at the deep end of the main
pool at the end of warm-ups for each session.
Each team will be provided with a copy of the heat and lane assignments
for the session by the end of warm-ups.
If the copiers cooperate, parents will have the opportunity to purchase
heat and lane sheets.
Swimmers
are to report directly to their lane when their event is called. It is the responsibility of coaches to
ensure that swimmers are behind the blocks at the appropriate time.
AWARDS
There
will be awards ceremonies to present medals to the top eight finishers in the
individual events and the top three teams in the relay events. Swimmers in the top eight should report to
the ceremony area after the boys event of the following sequence of
events. (i.e., awards for events 3 and
4 will be presented after event 6).
Ribbons and other remaining awards may be gathered at the end of last
session on Sunday. One representative
from the team must pick up the awards for the entire team.
DECK ACCESS FOR ADULTS (Workers and Coaches only)
The
only adults allowed on deck are workers and USS registered coaches. All coaches must visibly wear their USS
registration card. Please pay
particular attention to ensure parents do not go down on deck during awards
ceremonies.
SAFETY
All team and
individual warm-ups and warm-downs shall be under the direct supervision of the
respective swimmer's coach or individual designated by the referee. Any swimmer participating in the meet
without a US Swimming registered coach shall report to the referee before
warm-ups prior to each session. Diving
will be prohibited during warm-ups with the exception of the sprint lanes when
they are announced. There will be no
diving in the back pool.
Glass containers are
prohibited in the pool area, including the deck space and spectator
stands. Meet participants are requested
