NO EQUIPMENT IS ALLOWED DURING WARM-UP OR COOL DOWN PER USMS REGULATIONS. \nCheck-in:  \n\nGeneral check-in.

Each swimmer who is entered in a distance event (400y IM\, 500y freestyle\, 1000y freestyle\, 1650y freestyle) must report for a positive distance event check-in. Swimmers who do not verify intention to compete before the check-in deadline will be scratched from that event. The Meet Director reserves the right to re-seed the distance events after check-in if subsequent scratches will allow consolidation of heats. The deadlines for distance event check-ins are provided in the “Schedule” section of this meet announcement.\n\n  \nSeeding. Seeding will be slow to fast for individual events of 200 yards or less and for relay events\, with men and women seeded separately. Seeding will be fast to slow for distance events (400y IM\, 500y free\, 1000y free\, 1650y free)\, with men and women seeded together. “No time” entries will be assigned to the slowest heats for all events. \nHeat Sheets.

Heat sheets will show heat and lane assignments for all events that are 200 yards or less in distance. Separate heat sheets for the distance events (400y IM\, 500y free\, 1000y free\, and 1650y free) will be posted at the pool when distance-event check-in for that event is complete. \nScratches. For all events\, the swimmer is responsible to report to the assigned heat and lane in a timely manner. Failure to appear by the time of the Referee’s short whistle commands will be considered a scratch; the swimmer will not be allowed to swim in another heat of the same event. \nTiming: \n\nTiming system. The primary timing system will be automatic timing. Times from this competition will be eligible for world record\, USMS record and Top Ten consideration.\nSwimmer responsibilities. Hit the timing pad firmly. Do not cut through lanes until all swimmers have completed the event. During relays\, remain clear of the timing pad area until the event is completed by all swimmers. Alert the Starter to request the required three manual back-up timers if you or your relay is attempting a USMS (national) record. Before distance free events (500y free\, 1000y free\, and 1650y free)\, make sure there is a counter at the end of your lane.  A lap counter should be provided\, but you are welcome to supply your own lap counting personnel for distance events. \n\nScoring.
