ELIGIBILITY: All swimmers must be registered with United States Masters Swimming, Inc. Swimmers need to attach a copy of their USMS card to their entry forms or will be asked to show a 2013 USMS registration card upon check-in. If not yet registered, swimmers can register online with USMS after the entry due date or at the meet, but swimmers must be USMS registered before swimming any events at the meet.

MEET DATE/START TIME:
Saturday, August 24, 2013
OPEN Warm-ups: 9:00am
Meet Start: 10:00am

SEEDING: All events will be seeded slowest to fastest without regard to age or gender. Swimmers with no seed time may indicate “No Time” or “NT” in the time slot and will be seeded as slowest times. Please avoid using “NT” times whenever possible and please use realistic times. Results will be tabulated by gender and age group, as defined by USMS.

ENTRIES & FEES: A swimmer may enter up to five (5) individual events for a $30 flat fee. Late entries, as well as deck entries, will be accepted with an additional $10 fee. We encourage online entries through the Club Assistant system. You will be able to submit your entry times, use a secure site for payment of fees, sign the standard USMS waiver electronically, and have your USMS membership verified through this system. You will also be able to access the USMS database of times associated with your USMS registration number to help you determine appropriate seed times. Online entries will reduce the workload associated with putting together a meet.

DECK ENTRIES: Deck entries will be allowed at the discretion of the Meet Director. We will try to accommodate deck entries but only if such entries do not require additional heats. Swimmers registering for the meet as deck entries will be asked to pay both the regular and the late entry fees.

DEADLINES: Online entries and fees must be received by noon on Monday, August 19, 2013. Paper entries must be received (not postmarked) by Friday August 16, 2013. Any paper entries received after Friday, August 16, 2013 will be considered late and require an additional $10 fee.

FACILITY: The Frank Brown Park competition pool is 50 meters by 25 yards. Pool depth varies from 4ft to 12ft. It is equipped with electronic timing, and scoreboard. Competition will run at the deep end of the pool in 8 lanes with several lanes available for warm-up/warm-down and a buffer lane between.
