Warm Ups
Swimmers should arrive on the pool deck 15 minutes prior to our posted warm up. Swimmers are responsible for circling themselves in for all of their events. Any scratches should first be discussed with one of the coaching staff prior to scratching. Circling in is taking down 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the meet. (Time written in the warm meet invitation.) Once the circle in is taken down swimmers will not be allowed to swim their events if not circled in.

Longcourse Meets
There are a few changes to the meet format with this being a LC meet. I have listed these below. If you have any questions please talk to one of the coaches prior to the meet or email them prior to the meet.
Chase Starts – Chase starts are used in LC meets for events over 100. to help ease the timeline. In a chase start swimmers from the lobby end will swim a 50 and flip, as they begin their way back on the 2nd 50 the dive end will start and “chase” them. Essentially there are two swimmers in the water at one time. Officials take do their best to ensure the swimmer being chased has enough space to not be caught by the swimmer chasing them.
