• DO NOT leave the meet early unless it is approved by a coach, we need swimmers to stay in case they will swim in a relay and to cheer each other on
• Swimmers will swim a maximum of three events (decided by coaches), and are only allowed to scratch an event if approved by a coach
• Swimmers should write down their events and line up at the clerk at the course before their event begins
• Swimmers should be welcoming to the other team and be respectful by staying in the water until all swimmers touch the wall (25 yd) or the next heat dives over (50 yd)
• And remember to swim fast!!! GO SHARKS!!

Please ensure you are not blocking driveways and congratulations to the Patel Family for winning Spot in the Lot! Please note that warm-ups will begin at 7:15 AM and your swimmer(s) need(s) to be registered no later than 7:45 AM as well. Please note, whatever your swimmer registers for by 7:45 AM will be the events they are swimming - we will not allow for deck seed changes. Last - If your swimmer is not signed-in/registered by 7:45 AM, they cannot swim. Thank you.
