District
Championships at Dartmouth College
SIZE OF MEET
This meet has lots of swimmers. Almost 20% more swimmers and entries compared to last year. To run the meet smoothly and quickly we need everyone’s cooperation both before and during the meet. It is extremely important to scratch swimmers / events either before the meet or during the first half of warm-ups. We need to reduce heats as much as possible.
COACHES’ MEETING
There will be a coaches’
meeting at 4:45 Friday afternoon, on the deck at the block end of the
pool. There will be a second meeting
Saturday morning at 7:15 for those teams that are not swimming Friday
night. Please make sure a representative
from your team attends one of the meetings.

WARM-UPS
Friday evening warm-ups
are split by age groups. There will be
no lane assignments on Friday but the six competition lanes will be used for
sprint lanes the last 10 minutes of each session.

For Saturday and Sunday
sessions, teams are assigned to 20 minute blocks of warm-up in one of the
twelve lanes (8 lanes in the main pool, 4 lanes in the back pool). Teams in the non-competition lanes for
Saturday warm-ups will be in the six main lanes for Sunday warm-ups and vice
versa. Afternoon warm-ups may be
delayed based on the completion of the morning session. All sprints will need to be done during each
team’s 20 minute period. Back pool
teams may join front pool teams for sprints.

Teams must provide your
own timers for any of your swimmers doing the 1650. Age groups will be combined where possible. Girls and boys will swim in the same heats
if it means reducing heats.
SCRATCHES
Coaches MUST turn in scratch sheets by 25
minutes into the start of warm-ups.
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.
RELAYS
Coaches should either inform Mary 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. Remember that there are no relay only
swimmers and relays are age specific.
Swimmers may not age up for a relay.
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 prior to
each event. 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
One representative from
the team MUST pick up the awards for the entire team at the end of the meet.
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.
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 and
warm-downs with the exception of the sprint lanes when they are announced. Teams assigned to the lane can decide when
to switch to a sprint lane.
Glass containers are prohibited in the pool
area, including the deck space and spectator stands. Meet participants are requested to remain in the pool, locker
room or lobby area of Alumni Gymnasium.
Other areas are strictly off limits.
