FACILITY
Attleboro High School
has an eight-lane, 25 yard pool with non-turbulent lane lines, Colorado Timing
System (electronic touch pads and 8 lane Daktronic scoreboard) and bleacher
seating for spectators (25 yard events use two
electronic buttons). Members of New
England Swimming and their families are restricted to the pool, spectator
stands and the concession area. There is
no smoking in the building or within 500 feet of the building. Failure to abide by rules defined in this
notice, posted at the facility or determined by the Meet Referee or Meet
Director may result in ejection from the facility. Only those with proper
credentials will be allowed on deck.
FORMAT
The
meet will be swum as timed finals. Each
session will be seeded by computer, based on positive check-in, at the beginning
of each session. Coaches will receive a
positive check-in sheet before each session, which must be returned no later
than 30 minutes before the beginning of the session. Heat sheets will be posted around the pool
deck. 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 will be swum fastest to slowest, alternating girls and
boys. Girls and boys may be combined to
allow for fewer heats. Additionally,
15-19 year old swimmers and 13-14 year old swimmers will be combined to allow
for fewer heats if deemed necessary by meet management, but will be scored
separately.
RELAYS
Swimmers
must be entered in 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 entries may be limited to two teams per
event per club at the discretion of the Meet Director.
CUTS
The
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 and 12 age group will be limited to
4 heats for girls and 4 heats for boys.
