We chose entries by trying to get as many swimmers in each event as we could while meeting the Conference cut off times. This allows us to swim as many swimmers as we can at the same time as trying to score as many points as we can.
Algona and Manson got the short sticks with Conference Workers.. Together we will be working with the hole. I have separated the events into as even chunks and split those up into shifts that over lap so shifts can switch smoothly. We will have our coaches in and out of the hole a majority of the day to help with the hole as well especially with 10&U relays. Each team is supposed to have a rep. in the hole with the 10&U swimmers to help manage any chaos.
Here is the information shared with us for the conference meet.
Due to expected rain earlier in the week, we have adjusted parking for this weekend. There will be no parking on the ball fields, parking on streets will be the alternative.
If carpooling is an option, we recommend it! Anything not marked here, is available to park at. Bus parking is also available for cars. (See the bottom map)
We plan to do fly-over starts and start the next race pretty quickly. Please remind your swimmers what fly over starts are, and make sure they know to have goggles on and be ready to keep the meet running efficiently.
Please make sure swimmers are aware that if they are caught climbing on the donor wall, the Conference planning members and clerk of course has the right to scratch them from their upcoming event. This is for their safety. They also have the right to scratch any swimmers who are acting disrespectfully or destructively toward the facility.
Clerk of Course workers, if this needs to happen, please either let me, or someone at the computer know, so we can involve the coaches in the conversation with the swimmer.
Shirts will be available to pick up for your team at the picnic tables inside the fence.
Bus leaves the parking lot at 7:30
