OTHER INFO.

• Swimmers enter Clerk of Course area near the diving boards on the right side of the pool only. Do not enter clerk of course from behind blocks. (see diagram)
• There is a flip chart on the CoC table that displays the Event currently allowed to enter the clerk course of area. Swimmers with later events will not be permitted in the clerk of court area.
• Please request your swimmers (especially the younger ones) write their names on their backs or arms. It is very helpful to the clerk of course volunteers. Of course “Event/Heat/Lane” markings on swimmers are very helpful as well.
• Swimmers should NOT be behind the blocks unless they are lined up for their event.
• Please keep your swimmers out of the water unless they are warming up or racing. Per GCSL rules, the dive well, shallow end of the pool, baby pool and playground are closedduring the meet. This also means no dangling legs nor quick dips in the shallow or diving ends of the pool during the meet.
• Ask your swimmers not to pull on the rope marking space for the timers at the club house end of pool.
• Swimmer should not enter any roped off areas.
• DO NOT RUN ON DECK! Remind your swimmers that when their event is called to report to clerk of course they will have plenty of time to walk at a normal pace to that area.

• We do fly over starts. Except for medley relay and backstroke events, please ask your swimmers to wait in the pool until the next group of swimmers have started their race. In certain situations, the starter may ask swimmers to exit the pool prior to the start of the next race.
• Our swimmer meeting, prior to the start of warmups, will be in the area to the left of the grill beside the clubhouse building or outside the back gate on the grassy hill.
• We will be using SwimTopia for live meet updates so parents can follow along to see current event heat, get alerts for upcoming heats and see times and scores as they are entered.
• We will try to combine some heats in older kids' relays before finalizing heats sheets.
