Event Seeding: We will try to seed events according to pre-entered seed times for each swimmer, regardless of age or gender. In the event of multiple heats, the slower heats will be swim first.  All no-time (NT) entries shall be placed in the slower heats.

Warm up starts at 8:00am, with a meet start time of 9:00am.  Entry into the pool must be feet first in a cautious manner.  Diving shall be permitted only in the designated sprint lanes during the meet warm-up. The primary timing system will be a manual timing system with two watches.  The official times from this meet may be submitted for Arkansas state records and USMS Top 10, but cannot be submitted for world records or USMS records.

This meet  is sanctioned by Arkansas Masters  for USMS Inc.  The length of the competition course without a bulkhead is in compliance and on file with USMS in accordance with articles 105.1.7 and 107.2.1.

Swimmers may enter up to 5 events.  However, keep in mind that due to the shorter distances, this meet will run quickly and you might not get much rest between events.  We will take a 10-15 min. break after the 100 Butterfly and the 50 Butterfly.  Depending on the number of swimmers entered, we might take additional rests as well.

There will be a breakfast social after the meet (details provided day of the meet). For more information or questions, contact Carie O’Banion at carie.obanion@gmail.com or 479-715-2971
