Eligibility of times for USMS Top 10 and records will be contingent on verification of bulkhead placement.

• MASKS must be worn on the pool deck and in the locker rooms.  Please bring your own masks.

• Two swimmers per lane.
• SPLIT the lane (do not circle swim).
• Enter the lane on the right-hand side.
• Warmups in the SCM pool will also be limited to two swimmers per lane. Please utilize the 18 SCY warmup lanes whenever possible.
• Thirty minutes before the meet starts, Lane 8 will be used for one-way starts off the block. Please exit the pool to the side (not onto the bulkhead).

• Swimmers in the next heat should remain behind the timer chairs until after the timers have pushed buttons and returned to their chairs.
• In-water swimmers should exit the pool to the side.  DO NOT hoist yourself up onto the bulkhead after your race.
• RELAY PROCEDURE:  Relays will be seeded in every other lane (Lanes 2, 5, 7).  Relay swimmers should remain behind the timer chairs or off to the side of the pool, and at least six feet apart from each other, until it is their turn to get onto the starting block.  After swimming a relay segment, the swimmers should move into the empty lane next to their race lane (Lane 2 swimmers move into Lane 1, for example), and float in that lane until the race is completely over.  After the relay has concluded, exit the pool to the side.  DO NOT hoist yourself up onto the bulkhead.
