USA Swimming Observation: I have arranged for the meet to be observed by USA Swimming Officials. If you would like any of your USA Swimmers that are currently registered observed, please send back the attached form for each swimmer with the $5/athlete observation fee. Please send these forms back to me via email by Thursday morning at 9am. I can collect money or checks made to "UTAH SWIMMING" at the meet.
Meet Schedule:
The meet will begin at 1:30pm. I have attached the timeline. There is a 20 minute break after the 50 Free. There will be sandwiches and food for officials, coaches and timers. The timeline shows us wrapping up our final event at 5:51pm
I have attached a copy of the preliminary meet program, psych sheet and timeline. New entries are closed. If there are any changes, please get them to me by 9am on Thursday. I know the nature of high school swimmers. If we can keep the changes and scratches for the meet to a minimum after 9am, that is ideal. I will plan to send a FINAL meet program out Thursday mid-morning. I will have coaches packets available at check-in with meet programs printed for you. The meet will also be published to Meet Mobile, search for "2016.12.22 GSD Champs". Encourage your parents to use Meet Mobile or refer to programs on the wall. There will be very limited paper copies for parents and spectators. If you have any questions, let me know.
Housekeeping Items:
We are bringing in bleachers (thanks Skyline!) for the athletes to be on deck. Each team will have to be very tight on deck. Please do not have athlete food on the pool deck. Please stage all athlete food in The Commons in the main OHS building. Athletes are welcome to relax and eat in this area for the duration of the meet. The access from The Commons to the pool is outside, please remind your athletes to dress appropriately.
We would ask that you help make sure we can continue to hold meets at our facility by asking your team, parents and athletes to abide by the following rules.
· No street shoes on deck. Clean deck sandals are welcome, please have your athletes put their shoes in their bag and keep them with them.
· Only meet staff, coaches and athletes are welcome on deck. We ask all spectators to not gather in the entry way but make their way to the observatory.
· Only water and Gatorade (or equivalent) will be allowed on deck. No soda or food of any kind. No glass containers.
· We ask that all athletes shower before entering the water.
We look forward to some excellent individual and team performances. Please don't hesitate to call me on my cell below.
Best,
Shawn Stringham
