Swimmers in the 1000
or 1650 may start warm-up in the back pool while the afternoon session is still
in progress. The distance events will
start at 6:30 PM or 20 minutes after the last heat of the afternoon session,
whichever time is later. So there will
be at least a 20 minute break between sessions.
Teams will be assigned
warm-up times and lanes once all entries are received.
MEET
FORMAT
This will be a
timed-finals meet. All events will be
seeded and swum as 12 & Under and 13 & Over events with the final
results broken down by the following age groups: 8 & Under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, and 15 & Over. The 1000 and the 1650 will be swum as mixed
open, swimming heats fastest to slowest.
Events will be seeded during warm-ups each session. Heat and lane assignments will be posted in
both pool areas prior to each event.
Swimmers are to report directly to their lane when their event is
called. Coaches are responsible for
ensuring their swimmers are in the correct heat and lane. Time trials will be offered if there is time
at the end of each session. This will
be at the determination of the meet director and meet referee.
ENTRY
REQUIREMENTS
Entries on computer
disk are appreciated whether using the Hy-Tek program (.cl2 file) or some other
program (.sd3 or sdif). If submitting
entries by email, please also send a paper printout of the entry with the check
and signed cover page. Total entries
for the meet are limited, therefore the meet will be cut by date of receipt.
No swimmer may enter
more than 5 individual events per

have an entry time. NTs will not be
accepted in the distance events.
Meet management
retains the right to limit the number of heats of distance events if necessary. Distance events will be cut by lottery of
entries within the particular event.
Entries must be
received between Wednesday December 17 and
Tuesday, January 20. Any entries received before December 17
will be considered to have arrived on the 17th. If the meet is
oversubscribed, a team lottery will be used to determine which teams will
participate in the meet. The lottery
will be between those teams submitting entries on the date that filled the
meet. Email entries will be
accepted. Fees must arrive within four
business days after the email is sent.

times closer to the date of the meet.
Update information and instructions will be sent to team contacts of the
teams in the meet.
