LOCATION:  Wooster High School, Ellen Shapiro Natatorium, 515 Oldman Road, Wooster, OH, 44691

STARTING TIMES: Warm-up will begin at 8:00 a.m. and last 45 minutes with the meet starting at 8:50 a.m. 

ENTRY FEES:  Individual events $7.00 each plus a $2.00 per swimmer surcharge.  There is a $3.00 team fee.

ENTRY LIMITATIONS: Swimmers may enter no more than 2 events. However, it is the expectation that coaches will take the responsibility for monitoring swimmer entries and events.  No break will be taken between events. The meet may be divided into two sessions by age and gender if the number of swimmers entered warrant this happening and we infringe upon the four hour rule.   

QUALIFYING TIMES:  Except as indicated below for 10 & Under swimmers, swimmers may enter only those events offered at Championships for their age as of March 8, 2013, and their entry times must be slower than the qualifying time for Gold Championships for that age group.  Exception: 10 & Under swimmers may enter the 200 breast, 200 back, and/or 200 fly if they are equal to or faster than the NAG B time in the corresponding 100 stroke.  See the attached time standard sheet.  10 & Unders who qualify must enter their best estimate of their time in the 200 strokes. All swimmers must enter with a time even if it is an estimated time.  NT will NOT be accepted.

SLOWER THAN: These meets have times investigated after the meet if a protest is filed.

SEEDING & CHECK IN:  Events will be deck-seeded. Check in sheets will be posted on the pool office windows.  Swimmers should check-in before warm-up and no later than 30 minutes prior to the start of each session.  Heat and lane assignments will be posted on the pool office windows and at other announced locations.  Swimmers who check in for an event and do not compete will be fined $25 per event in accordance with the LESI scratch rule unless the referee determines that failure to compete was due to circumstances beyond the control of the swimmer.

                       

ADMISSIONS:  $5.00 includes psych sheet.  Heat and lane assignments will be posted on the balcony level after the events have been seeded.  Parking is free. 

CAMERA ZONES: Meet Management shall designate and inform the public of “Camera Zones” at each swim meet where both still and video photography of a race or competitor may be taken. Acceptable Camera Zones may include, but are not limited to the side courses of a pool, team gathering areas, concession areas, the turn-end of the competition course when not in use as a start-end, etc. Meet Management shall also designate “No Camera Zones.” Under NO circum-stances will Camera Zones include locker rooms, rest rooms, any dressing areas, or the area immediately behind the starting blocks at either end of the racing course(s) while they are in use for race starts during competition and warm-up. Those failing to abide by this rule may be removed from the venue.
