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 when they are ready.
All heats of the 1650 will be swum fastest to slowest, alternating girls and boys. Girls and boys may be combined 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, but will be scored separately. Swimmers in the 1650 may start warm-up in the warm up pool while the afternoon session is still in progress
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.
