Depth at start is 8 feet[1] and 4 feet at turn. Permanent starting blocks and non-turbulent lane markers will be used. 25 yard events will start from the blocks.  Colorado timing with an 8 lane display will be used.  The competition course has not been certified in accordance with 104.2.2C(4).  There is ample balcony seating for spectators. Lockers are available (provide your own lock).  Public phones will be available. Entry into the natatorium is through the athletic lobby adjacent to the main parking lot and provides direct, covered entrance to the pool. Food and drinks are not allowed in the athletic lobby or in the pool area.  Parking is only permitted on paved areas around the school.  Persons parking on the grass section next to the pool lobby may be ticketed or towed.


 

Eligibility:                The Lakers Original Swim Your Own Age Meet is open to all swimmers.   All swimmers must be currently registered with United States of America Swimming (USA). A swimmer's age on November 13, 2009 will determine his/her eligibility for a particular age group.

 

Meet Format:            Swimmers will swim only against swimmers their own age, with the exception of 15-18 year olds, 7 and under, relays, and all distance events, as noted.  Events may be combined (per USA Rule 102.8.2) to conserve lane space and for the timeliness of the meet.  If this occurs awards will still be provided by SYOA guidelines.  Fly-over starts will be used during this meet.

 

Individual Entry

Limits:                   Swimmers are limited to five individual per day.

 

Entry Fees:            $4 per individual event.  Please include a $3.50 surcharge for each swimmer entered.  Make checks payable to:  Pointe Aquatics.  Please submit entry payment once meet fees have been posted.

 

Refunds:                Once a team or individual entry has been received and processed by the entry chair there are no refunds in full or in part.

 

Check In:               Check In will be available as of 15 minutes before start of warm-up. Check in is mandatory for all events and is required by the time set forth in this meet announcement.  Failure to check in will cause the swimmer to be scratched from all events in that session.  Also note that pursuant to MS Rules that failing to swim an event after checking in for that event will disqualify a swimmer from his or her next event.  Check in sheets will be posted in the hallway between the women and mens locker room, adjacent to the pool lobby.

 

Scratch Rules:        Prior to check-in closes, a swimmer may scratch events at the Clerk of Course.  After check-in closes, you must see the Meet Referee to scratch an event.  Once a swimmer has checked in for an event that swimmer must compete in that event or the swimmer will be scratched from his/her next event.

 

Marshaling:            This meet will be SELF MARSHALLED.  Heat sheets will be posted on the pool deck. Swimmers and their coaches will be responsible for reporting to the starting blocks when their event is called.

 

Seeding:                    Seeding will be done after check in closes.  Swimmers who fail to check in for an event will be scratched from that event.  All events will be swum as timed finals and will be seeded slowest to fastest, other than the 1000 & 1650, which will be swum fastest to slowest alternating girls and boys.  The 1000 & 1650 will be swum as Open events.  It will be separated at the conclusion of the session for placement and awards.
