SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

Both Days

Swimmers should report to Clerk of Course promptly upon arrival.
Lane assignments for each heat will be determined approximately 15 minutes prior to the time the heat starts.
All swimmers will be provided with a lane timing card showing their heat and lane assignment when they have been seeded into a heat.
Once a heat has been seeded, meet management is not required to reseed it.
Swimmers are strongly encouraged to report early and will be permitted to swim in an earlier heat if a lane is available.
Due to time constraints all heats will be swum full based on the fastest seeded swimmers who have reported when the heat is closed,
The slowest heats of women and men may be combined to produce full heats.

Seeding Procedures

Swimmers will be seeded (permitted to swim) based on the order shown on the attached psych sheets for each event.

Swimmers with a provable entry time in an event were seeded prior to swimmers entered with at time from the next shorter distance (i.e., 500 for the 1000 and 1000 for the 1650.) .

Waivers were granted to some swimmers. This determined their right to enter an event. However, those swimmers with waivers were seeded after the above two categories based on their best provable time for the longest freestyle distance they had swum. Longer distances were seeded before shorter distances.

LCM times were seeded as non-conforming times for the appropriate equivalent distance.and seeded ahead of swimmers who entered with shorter conforming distance entry times...

Entry times shown on the psych sheets were generally adjusted for those swimmers granted waivers and was done in order to permit them to be seeded consistent with the above

Coaches who believe their swimmer may have been improperly seeded should contact Bill Marlin, PVS Distance Coordinator to request a review of how their swimmer was seeded. If swimmers could have entered based on an intermediate time, please provide specific information including the meet, date and event. Please submit no later than NOON, Friday Jan 2.

Parents or swimmers with concerns should contact their coach or team meet entry coordinator as the Meet Directors will only respond to inquires received from coaches or team meet entry coordinators.
