• Friday/Sunday are heats and finals.  Saturday is a timed final session.
• Relays are in finals.
• There is no spectator seating.

About Warm Ups:

• It is important that swimmers arrive before the listed times to get appropriate space on the pool deck.
•  Please try to sit on the side of the pool with the scoreboard, near the false start rope, similar to where we have sat in the past, and sit together.  Activation will start at the posted times. 
  • Friday & Sunday Activation 7:00AM Prelims, 3:40PM Finals
  • Sat timed finals - activation starts:  10:55am  (moment of silence will happen at 11:00am)
• Reminder - once again we strongly recommend that you arrive early to find sitting.  Warm up are blocked and to ensure sitting space, we recommend that you arrive early to find a spot to sit.  (very limited sitting on deck is available)

Team Expectations for Finals and Relays:

• Unless a swimmer noted during the meet sign up process,  they are unavailable for a finals session, swimmers who are on relays, reach finals, or are 1st/2nd alternate after prelim results, are expected to return for finals.  Please note there is a $20 late scratch penalty for finals.
• B finals (top 16)  will be offered to 12-13, 14-15, 16&O in events with more than 24 entries for the 50 free and all 100 and 200 events.
• Relay swimmers will be confirmed during prelims.  Once again, coaches will assume swimmers are available unless noted on the meet sign up prior to.  If your swimmer is on a relay and fails to return for the relay, and their absence causes the relay to scratch, the swimmer will be charged the $20 no show fee. 
• If your swimmer is outside of the alternate positions and is not on a relay, please double check with your coach before leaving for the day.
• If your swimmer opts out of relays before the meet, they will also opt out of any individual finals unless under direction or their coach

Other Notes:

• Deck chairs are recommended for swimmers.  Please note the deck also does flood during warm up so be prepared.
• We will be doing activation outside so dress accordingly.
• All swimmers need to be wearing their SKSC t-shirt or sweatshirt while on deck and your SKSC cap while racing. 
• Swimmers are required to attend warmups and all of their races, and are allowed to leave when they finish their last race of a session.  Double check with your coach if you are unsure.
• Don't forget water bottles, healthy snacks/food, and extra clothes and towels.
• Coaches are not responsible for watching swimmers between heats and finals
• Paid parking for $4 all day Friday/Saturday just max out the time.  Additional parking available across the street at City Hall on Saturday/Sunday.  Sunday parking is free.

For Parents:

• From Meet Management - Due to facility limits of maximum capacity, there is unfortunately no capacity for any spectators except during the 800 and 1500 events. The facility also says parents are not allowed to “hang out” in the public areas of the facility during the meet (i.e. hallways and front lobby). 
• Parents are responsible for their swimmer between sessions.
• VOLUNTEERS: they are near full for all of our volunteer positions for the meet. However, anyone wanting to volunteer can check in at the volunteer sign in desk in the front lobby during the beginning of the warm up to see if positions are needed. Please do not expect this is likely to happen for more than possibly a few people.
• Parents of swimmers in the 800/1500 events, they will be looking for timers during this portion of the session.
• The swim meet will be live streamed

Thank you
