Format
All races will be timed finals. All individual
events will be seeded according to times submitted from slowest
to fastest with men and women combined. All events, except
relays, will be pre-seeded in order for the meet to run smoothly.
No lane or heat changes will be made for any reasons. Heat
sheets will be available at the meet.
Seed Times
Should be in yards only or NT (no
time). Please indicate on
Individual
Entry Form.
Rules
U.S. Masters Swimming rules prevail where noted
herein.
Event Limits
Six (6) individuals and four (4) relay
events per swimmer. Up to five (5) individual events can be
entered in a single day.
Age Group
Determined by the athlete's age on the last
day of the meet, Sunday, July 20, 2008.
Relays
Relays will be deck entered. No need to pre-register for
relays. Those interested in swimming a relay that do not
have a team, should add their name to a list posted at the
relay table as early as possible upon arriving at the meet.
Every effort will be made to place all interested athletes
on a relay team. Entries are due at the relay table 30
minutes before the scheduled start of the relay event.
Changes or entries will not be accepted after the 30 minute
entry deadline.
Distance Events
If athletes swim a distance event
(500 or longer), they will be expected to count for another
individual in a different heat of that event or arrange for
a person to serve as their personal lap counter. Check-in
at the relay table 15 minutes prior to the event.
*Start Times
Each session will begin at the times
indicated. Subsequent events will begin at the conclusion
of the previous event. It is the athlete's responsibility
to monitor the progress of the meet and be prepared to swim
his or her event when called.
Awards
Medals will be given for first, second and
third in each age group. Medals will be awarded throughout
the day at the awards table as results become available. Medals
will not be mailed out following the competition. Athletes
should make arrangements to pick them up no later than 30
minutes after the conclusion of the last race.
Results
Official meet results will not be available
for distribution. Results
will be posted on this Web site.
Volunteers
Volunteers would be greatly appreciated.
Specific needs include timers, runner (youth 5-8 years of
age), starters, timing and computer operators and individuals
to process results. If you can bring along a friend or family
member, please do so. Individuals with experience as starters
or operation of the electronic systems have been difficult
to find. Please contact the commissioners in advance if you
know of individuals who plan to attend the meet and would
be willing to volunteer.
