Team Expectations for Finals and Relays

• This is a championship meet.  We encourage swimmers to attend finals even if they are not in them to support the team.
• All relays will be in finals at the end of the session. Relays are subject to change.
• Unless a swimmer noted during the meet sign up process, they are expected to return for finals if they are in the top 10 or on a relay. This includes 1st and 2nd alternates.
• No shows for finals and relays are subject to late scratch penalties ($20) and/or full relay fees ($15) if absence results in a canceled relay in addition to other repercussions.
• Please ensure you are double checking with coaches after your last prelim swim and waiting for results to be posted if you want to leave for the day.  There may be changes to relays or information coaches are privy to, such as scratches.  Once again, wait for the results to be posted and DO NOT LEAVE FOR THE DAY UNLESS YOU HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH YOUR COACH.
