TENTS AND TENT PROTOCOL
Please remind your parents to bring chairs, blankets, snacks, games, etc. for swimmers in the tents. It may also be a good idea to bring rain gear, extra towels, and a sweatshirt!
There are to be NO POP-UP TENTS. Also, remind your teams that chairs, coolers, etc. may not be placed on the sidewalks. We must KEEP THE SIDEWALKS CLEAR for foot traffic and emergency vehicles.
Please do not permit your swimmers to use paints or chalk on the sidewalks. Please keep your areas clean and free of debris. We are guests of the facility and need to be good stewards of its use.
CLERK OF COURSE
Please have your swimmers’ names written on their shoulder and have their events written on their arms or some other visible location to assist the Clerk of Course in seating the swimmers.“Little Kid Day” is always chaotic, and your help with this will allow the Clerk of Course to run more smoothly (and may even help us eliminate some volunteer shifts next year).
Events will be called three times, and swimmers should be in the Clerk of Course tent by the 3rd call. Once a swimmer has reported to the Clerk of Course, they should remain there unless excused by the Head Clerk. Failure to report to the Clerk of Course on time will constitute a scratch from the event. If a swimmer misses a heat, then he or she will not be allowed to swim in another heat, absent permission from the Meet Referee.
Parents should NOT be in the Clerk of Course unless they are designated to work.
EVENT RESULTS
Event Results will be posted on deck and in the concourse. Results for Thursday and Friday will not be available on Meet Mobile until the end of the sessions on Thursday and Friday.
If you have a Protest, please complete a Protest Form at the Clerk of Course. The Meet Director will be notified, and the Meet Referee will review and render the final decision.
MEET WORKERS
All Meet Workers should attend the Meet Worker Meeting at 2:20. First shift workers should report to the worker check-in table before the worker meeting and should be at their stations prior to the start of the Meet. Second shift workers should report to their stations by 5:00 pm.
Shifts cannot be split or shared. When a worker shift ends, the worker should exit the pool deck or other area and return to the stands or to the team tent.
PARKING PASSES
There are a very limited number of passes available for purchase each day, first-come first-served. Cost per pass is $20.
Free parking is available at the Metron Center across Kingston Pike (approximately 1 mile away). Shuttle service will NOT be provided.
HEAT SHEETS
Heat sheets will be sold at the ticket booth each day. Cost per Heat Sheet is $10. Cash and credit cards are accepted.
