Practice Starts

For swimmers who are not familiar with starting off a starting block, the Swim Center will open the pool for “practice starts only” from 8:30 am to 9:00 am on the morning of the meet. Swimmers must be accompanied by and supervised by a coach, and should enter the facility through the main outdoor entrance.

Scratch Deadline and Procedure

If a swimmer, based on previous time rankings, expects they will be seeded in the meet and they either (1) do not plan on participating in the meet or (2) do not want to swim a particular event, they should scratch from the events they do not want to swim. Scratches for this meet will not be accepted after July 5th and must be submitted utilizing the MCSL Online Scratch process.

USA Swimming Sanctioned Meet

This meet is sanctioned by Potomac Valley Swimming and USA Swimming and officiated by Certified USA Swimming Officials and will be judged using USA Swimming Rules (not MCSL Stroke & Turn Rules). Times swum by swimmers that are members of USA Swimming are considered official USA Swimming times.

Swimmer Check-in Procedures

There will be a Clerk of Course/Heat Staging Area utilized at this meet. All swimmers, including alternates, should report to the Clerk of Course no later than three events prior to the time their event is scheduled to be swum. For example, if the swimmers for event 11 are either on the blocks or in the water, swimmers for events 12, 13 and 14 should have already reported to the Clerk of Course. A complete schedule of when swimmers should report to the Clerk of Course for each event is provided in the Clerk of Course Reporting Schedule. Once swimmers for an event have been released from the Clerk of Course and moved to the Starting Area, alternates should check-in with the Deck Referee or Chief Judge. Only the Deck Referee will place alternates in an event. If there are empty lanes they will be placed in a lane. If there are empty lanes and no alternates present at the start of the event the lanes will not be filled.
