District
Championships at Dartmouth College
March
6-8, 2003
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. Please notify your coaches as soon as possible if your child will not be attending the meet or needs to scratch from a particular event. We rely on coaches to scratch swimmers before heat and lane assignments are made to minimize the number of heats needed.
