USA SWIMMING REGISTRATION:

                                All swimmers must be currently registered with USA Swimming, Inc. Registrations may be obtained from your club registrar.  The meet will be reconciled for current USA Swimming registration.  Unregistered swimmers will be removed from the meet.

SWIMMING EVENTS:

                                The 1000 yd free style and 1650 freestyle will be swum as timed finals all other events will have a prelim/finals format.

                                Coaches are asked to declare scratches no later than 45 minutes prior to the beginning of the prelim session.  This includes the 1000 yd and 1650 yd freestyle events.  Scratches for finals should be declared within 30 minutes of the announcement of prelim results.  Failure to notify the scoring table so that an alternate can be notified will result in disqualification from the remainder of the meet.  Any exceptions (medical or otherwise) will be at the discretion of the meet director.

WARM-UPS:

                                Because of the large number of injuries occurring across the country during warm-ups, Adirondack Swimming allows no diving into the pool during the warm-up period except in designated sprint lanes.  We ask that all coaches and swimmers cooperate fully with officials and marshals in charge of the area.

TIMERS:

                                Swimmers in the 1000 yd and 1650 yd freestyle events will be required to provide their own timers and counters.  For all other events the Adirondack Bluefins will make every effort to provide timers for all sessions but may ask for volunteers if necessary to avoid delaying the meet. 

OFFICIALS:

                                All USA Swimming certified officials are welcome.  Please sign up in the official’s room upon arrival at the meet.  There will be an officials meeting 45 minutes prior to the beginning of each session.  Attendance is mandatory to work the meet.
