PARKING:
Free. There will be a designated area for parking adjacent to the Aquatic and
Fitness building. Swimmer drop-off is on
the south entrance of the Aquatic Center, denoted by signage. Please do not park in front of the building
unless you have a handicapped designation sticker for that reserved space;
handicap parking is located next to the swimmer drop-off entrance.
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 circumstances 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.
Furthermore, the Meet Referee and the Meet Directors may limit, at their
discretion, still or video photography within the camera zone, if in the
opinion of the Meet Referee and/or the Meet Directors the photography is
disruptive to the meet or is otherwise not in the best interest of the athletes
in consideration of the safe sport objectives.
Even in the designated Camera Zones, spectators are reminded that
there is no flash photography permitted at the start of the race, from the time
that the athletes are given the instruction to step up on the blocks until the
race has been started.
Use
of audio or visual recording, including a cell phone
camera, is not allowed in changing areas, restrooms or locker rooms, and
is limited to only those areas marked as designated camera zones.
NOTE:
Only athletes entered in the meet, working coaches, officials, and meet
workers are allowed on deck. Other
non-participants are expected to remain in the spectator area.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: All clubs are required to provide workers for the district
championships. Each club’s cooperation
in this regard is critical in making this meet a success. Please fulfill your obligation by assigning
parents or other responsible adults (not age group swimmers) from your club to
work at this meet.
Should a club fail to fulfill its work responsibilities,
particularly in timing; the meet will be unnecessarily delayed. A fine will be assessed to any club not
completing their assignments at this meet.
THE FINE IS AS FOLLOWS: $20.00 FOR EACH POST NOT FILLED BY THE CLUB
ASSIGNED. For example, if a club is
assigned two lanes of timers for a session and only one worker appears, that
club will be fined $60.00 (3 absent timers).
If you have any questions, please ask! You can leave a comment on here or ask a coach before or after practice. Also, you can e-mail Coach Eric - aquaman429@cox.net, or Coach Kara - ms.kdennis@gmail.com.
Go NEON!
