POOL:  The length of the competition course is in compliance and on file with USMS in accordance with articles 105.1.7 and 105.2, but as a bulkhead course, is subject to length confirmation. Eligibility of times for USMS Top 10 and Records will be contingent on verification of bulkhead placement.

RULES: Current 2022 U.S. Masters Swimming rules will govern the conduct of this meet.

ELIGIBILITY: The meet is open to anyone 18 and older. All entrants must be registered with U.S. Masters Swimming, Inc.  Each swimmer is eligible to swim a maximum of five (5) individual events per day, excluding relays.

AGE GROUPS: The swimmer's age is determined as of April 5, 2020. Age categories are 18-24, 25-29, 30-34, etc.

REGISTRATION:  All entries MUST be received by 11:59 P.M. EDT on Wednesday, April 6.  Relay entries are requested prior to the meet but are not required.  If not received before the beginning of the meet, they must be received before the end of warm-up for each day.  Online registration through Club Assistant.

ENTRY FEES:  GRIN members will be free with Non-GRIN members only charged a $30 meet fee.  Non-GRIN- member relays will be charged $4 per relay.  

RELAYS:  Swimmers may only swim once in the 800 Free and 400 Free Relays. For example, if you swim in a single-gender relay, you may not swim in a mixed relay for that same relay event.  

RELAY NOTES:  The Relay Card must include the name of the club, name as it appears on USMS registration, age and gender. Relay swimmers / swimmer order may be changed after submission but changes in order and/or participants MUST be received before the start of the heat.  See Rule 102.9.6 for requirements for legal relays.

EVENT DEADLINE:  Entries close on Wednesday, April 6 at 11:59 P.M. EDT.  

EVENT SEEDING:   All heats will be seeded slowest to fastest.  All distance events (500, 1000, 1650 Free, & 400 IM) MUST have entry times. The 1650 (Sat.) and 1000 (Sun.) require positive check-in (in person) before 7:45am on the day of the event and by 12:00 noon for the 400 IM (Sat.) and 500 (Sun.).  Failure to check-in before the deadline will result in being scratched from that event.  The long-distance events and 400 IM will be swum as mixed gender events, but scored by gender and age group. Note: Distance events (1650 &1000) will be limited to the first 16 men and 16 women. 

WARM-UP PROCEDURES: Swimmers must enter the pool feet first in a cautious and controlled manner. No diving or backstroke starts will be allowed, except in designated sprint lanes. One or two lanes shall be designated as one-way sprint lanes during the pre-meet warm-up sessions in the competition pools only. Any swimmer who acts in an unsporting or unsafe manner within the swimming venue may be considered for appropriate action or penalty by the referee (Rule 102.4.3). Pull-buoys, kick boards, fins, and hand paddles are not allowed in competition or warm-up pools.
