LOCATION:  Weyhaeuser King County Aquatic Center, 650 SW Campus Drive Federal Way, WA 98023 PHONE: 206-296-4444

FACILITY:  50-meter championship pool set us as two 25-yard courses, each with 9 ft wide lanes and a water depth range of 9' - 10.5'. The length of the competition course is in compliance and on file with USMS in accordance with articles 105.1.7 and 106.2.1 but as a bulkhead course, is subject to length comfirmation. Eligibility of times for USMS Top 10 and Records will be contingent on verification of bulkhead placement. WARMUPS: We expect to be able to use the dive tank for continuous warm-up/warm-down through the duration of the meet. However, because of King County Aquatic Center staffing/lifeguard issues it may not be possible. We may not know until the days leading up to the meet. In the event that there is no dive tank availability, in order to comply with the USMS rule that there be made available warm-up/warm-down through the duration of the meet, we will have to make available 3 lanes in the distance race pool for continuous warm-up/warm-down. If this occurs, we may be limited to 5 competition lanes in the distance events, which could adversely impact any proposed timeline for the events.

TIMING SYSTEM: The primary timing system will be automatic timing (Swiss). Times may be submitted for USMS records and USMS Top 10 consideration.

SCHEDULE:  Sunday, April 10th warm-ups 8:00 AM, meet starts 9:00 AM. Distance events will run continuously, in the second pool. In the ORDER OF EVENTS list (see below): the alignment of events in Pool #2 shows the approximate time when each event will start in relation to events in Pool #1. Events may start earlier or later than shown. If Pool #2 has only 5 lanes for competition, the 400 IM and 500 Free will start relatively later compared to events in Pool #1. Estimated end time with 300 swimmers and 8 lanes available in both pools is 3:00 pm in Pool #, 1:00 pm in Pool #2.
