Start
times may be changed once all entries have been received. Teams will be
notified of exact times at least 1 week prior to meet.
Teams will be assigned
warm-up times and lanes once all entries are received.
FACILITY
FORMAT
All events will be
seeded during warm-ups and swum as timed finals. Heat and lane assignments will be posted
after scratches are entered. Copies of
heat and lane assignments will be given to coaches. Swimmers should report
directly to the blocks for their events.
Coaches are responsible for ensuring their swimmers are in the correct
heat and lane. There will be no bullpen.
All heats of the 1650
Freestyle will be swum fastest to slowest, alternating girls and boys if
possible but combining girls and boys if that requires fewer heats. Open swimmers and 13-14 year old swimmers
will be combined into heats for efficiency if deemed necessary by meet
management.
Distance events (400,
500, 1650) may be cut by time in the event that the
meet is oversubscribed at the discretion of the Meet Director.
The 200 Fly, 200 Back and 200 Breast for the 11-12 age group will be limited
to 4 heats for Girls and 4 heats for Boys.
ELIGIBILITY
All swimmers must be
2004 registered swimmers with New England Swimming. Swimmers may register with Mary Riddell,
ENTRY INFORMATION
No swimmer may enter
more than nine individual events or swim more than five individual events per
day. Swimmers must enter an individual
event to be able to participate in a relay.
Relay only swimmers are not allowed.
Relays are age specific. Swimmers
may not age up for a relay. Relay

Meet Director. Relays will be the first to be cut, in the event that the meet
is oversubscribed, at the discretion of the Meet Director.

appreciated. Electronic entries, whether
by email or on computer disk are appreciated and are less expensive (according
