Request for Officials: We can always use officials to help run the meet; it would be appreciated if volunteers from other clubs contact the meet referee, prior to February 21st, 2015. After this date, officials can make themselves known to the Meet Manager at the start of each session in case volunteers are still required.

Deck entries may be permitted as exhibition swims to fill empty lanes in existing heats only.

Final scratch deadline for finals shall be 30 minutes before the start of the finals session. There will be no reseeding for scratches received after the initial scratch deadline. Scratching from finals after the final scratch deadline, or failure to participate in an individual final will result in the swimmer being excluded from further participation in that day`s finals session.

fastest 4 competitors being circle seeded (also known as vertical
seeding).
