Propane heaters, glass containers, sale and use of alcoholic beverages are prohibited in all areas of the meet venue. Use of cell phones is prohibited in the locker rooms. NO ANIMALS ARE ALLOWED ON THE PREMISES.
ELIGIBILITY: Swimmers must be current members of USA-S and enter their name and registration number on the meet entry card as they are shown on their Registration Card. If this is not done, it may be difficult to match the swimmer with the registration and times database. The meet host must check all swimmer registrations against the SWIMS database and if not found to be registered, the Meet Director shall accept the registration at the meet (a $10 surcharge will be added to the regular registration fee). Duplicate registrations will be refunded by mail. The meet is open to all qualified swimmers. Swimmers 19 years of age and older may participate in 11 & over individual events, but will not receive awards, and shall not participate in relay events. Disabled swimmers, attached or unattached, are welcome to attend this meet and should contact the Meet Director or Meet Referee regarding special accommodations on entry times and seeding per Pacific Swimming policy.
CHECK IN: The meet will be deck seeded. Swimmers must check-in at the Clerk-of-Course. The first two events of each session will close 30 minutes before the start of the session. The close of check-in for the remaining events shall be no more than 30 minutes before the estimated time of the first heat of the event. Swimmers who do not check in will not be allowed to compete in the event.
NO DECK ENTRIES WILL BE ALLOWED (EXCEPT RELAYS).
SCRATCHES: Any swimmer who has checked-in for an individual event and fails to swim that event will be scratched from the meet unless the swimmer returns to the clerk of the course and repeats the check-in process for all remaining events. Failure to swim an event after the second check-in process will result in being barred from the next individual event in which a swimmer is entered on that day or the next meet day, whichever is first. The penalty will not apply if the swimmer scratches before the event is seeded, or if the Referee accepts proof that the failure was caused by illness, injury, or other circumstances beyond the control of the swimmer.
