Feel free to bring deck chairs and tents to set up outside, depending the the air temperature we will open some or all of the bay doors on the pool deck to access the outdoor patio. Due to the size of Saturday’s session, we have limited the 200’s to the 5 top heats of boys and 5 top heats of girls. Any swimmer that is cut from the event may come to Sunday’s session to swim the event. Your Welcome Packet includes: ● WarmUp schedule, session report and timeline ● 2 copies of your team entries, please turn one into the computer table by 2:25. ● 4 heat sheets for each session, please see the computer table if you need additional sheets ● 2 garbage bags to assist in cleaning up your team area Please let the concession stand workers know that you coach for your free lunch. YMCA & USA Sanction paperwork has been turned in and we are waiting for the sanction approvals. Please help us run a professional and well organized meet: ● Due to the size of the session, we have preseeded the meet. If you have a scratch please alert the meet referee and timer as we will be leaving the lane open. If a swimmer misses their event, we will try to place them in an empty lane. ● Please turn in your scratch sheet by 2:30 ● Officials Meeting at 2:15 by the computer table. Many thanks to the YMCA and USA Officials that volunteered so that we can submit our times to the SWIMS database. ● Timers Meeting at 2:30 by the computer table. ● Please ask your parents to time, a signup sheet will be at the computer table ● Feet first entries during all warmup. We ask that coaches supervise their swimmers in the pool and do not allow any horseplay. ● There will not be a bullpen for the meet, please make sure that your swimmers are behind the block in time for their event. ● We will be using flyover starts for the 11 and overs (swimmers should stay in the water until the next heat goes off) ● If your swimmer is not swimming, please let the starter and timer in their lane know when possible, to help save time, If you have any questions or need assistance, please stop by the computer table. Good Luck and Swim Fast! Best wishes for an outstanding season.
