All Events Require Positive Check-In: All events will be deck seeded from entry
form times. Swimmers must confirm their entries by 4:30 p.m. on December 12, and
9:30 a.m. on December 13 and 14. Swimmers who do not check in by those deadlines
will be scratched from all their events for that day. If you arrive late,
check-in immediately and you will be re-entered in events that have not yet been
seeded and posted. Events will be seeded and posted approximately 1/2 to 3/4
hour before the event starts. Swimmers must check-in personally.
8) Diver Over Starting
Dive Over Starting - All Events Except Backstroke: Swimmers completing a heat
will finish at the wall, and stay in the water until the next heat is called to
the blocks. Swimmers will stay in the water until the next heat 'Dives Over' the
top of them. Immediately after the next heat has started, the swimmers from the
previous heat will exit the pool. If you need to use the ladder to exit the
pool, notify the starter before your race.
9) Warm-up: suggest pacing for warm-up lanes
Everyone gets a better warm-up if the people in a warm-up lane are in the same
pace range. Here is a suggested pace for each warm-up lane during the open
