USMS Sanction #184-S002
DATE Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024. Warm-ups start at 7:30 a.m. Session 1, Events #1 and #2 (1500M freestyle and 800M freestyle) will start at 8:00 a.m. Positive Check-in is required prior to 7:30 a.m. There will only be 2 heats of the 1500M (only 16 swimmers) and 3 heats of the 800M (only 24 swimmers). Swimmers can swim in Event #1 or #2 but not both events. Splits for the 800M touches of the 1500M will be reported for all swimmers (assuming proper automatic timing system operation and the swimmer finishes the event); therefore split requests are not required for the 800 split. A half hour warm-up will begin after the 800M heats are completed. Session 2 will start after the 30-minute warm-up following the distance events but not before 10:00 a.m. Deck entries will only be accepted for open lanes on the day of the meet. This is a pre-seeded meet.
LOCATION Avon Aquatic Center, 36265 Detroit Rd., Avon, Ohio 44011
POOL The pool is a 10 lane, 50-meter outdoor pool with anti-turbulent lane lines and Colorado system automatic timing. Only 8 lanes will be used for the competition. During the meet lane 10 will be available for continuous warm-up/warm-down and lane 9 will remain empty as a buffer lane. 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 106.2.1. The primary timing system will be a Colorado 6 automatic timing system with touchpad finishes. Times may be submitted for USMS records and USMS Top 10 times. NOTE: Safety of the swimmers is our primary concern. Should inclement weather arise which would endanger swimmers, the meet will be delayed and/or rescheduled to Sunday, Aug. 25, 2024. The decision of the meet director and officials is final. Due to a number of predetermined costs, no refunds will be issued.
