Enclosed you will find the work assignments, warm-up schedule and preliminary program for Long Course LSC Championships. The support and cooperation of all teams is crucial to the success of this Championship for our swimmers. Please read the following points carefully. I am available before the beginning of the meet at ncymeetdir@aol.com. After Thursday morning I will not be checking email, so you can leave a voice mail message for me at 203-461-4814.

1. Work assignments are your team’s responsibility for the entire session, including relays. If a worker needs to leave early, arrangements must be made by that worker or your team to replace them. Meet Management will not be available to assist in this process. Workers should check in at the office at the beginning of warm-ups unless otherwise instructed Please review the work assignments and the relevant section of the Meet Announcement. Assignments for finals will be determined and posted approximately 30 minutes prior to the start.

2. Coaches meetings are scheduled for Friday at 8:00 AM and 1:40 PM in the office. Upon arrival, all coaches must register in the office, obtain an ID badge and pick up a team packet. Coaches must show a currently valid USA swimming membership card. The list of properly registered coaches published on the CSI website on Thursday morning will be used to verify eligibility. Registration problems must be resolved prior to the meet. Only coaches with ID badges clearly displayed will be allowed on the deck.

3. Warm-up lane assignments have been included in this distribution and will be posted on the pool deck. Lane assignments have been allocated based upon swimmers entered, excluding those who qualify at Regionals and relay-only swimmers. At finals, Lanes 7 and 8 will be reserved for 11/12 swimmers for the second half of warm-ups beginning at 6:30 PM.

4. Shaving is not permitted anywhere on the premises.

5. Please keep your teams aware that we are guests of Wesleyan University. Coaches are responsible for the clean-up of their team area after each session. Absolutely no decorations may be attached to the walls with tape above the tiled areas at any time, as this damages the walls.

6. Please review the scratch procedures in the Meet Announcement. Morning session scratches must be in on the previous evening as described there. No-shows at preliminaries and finals will be penalized if not properly scratched. It is the responsibility of the coach and the swimmer to pay attention to finals scratch announcements and deadlines during prelims.

7. Entries are final according to the deadlines described in the Meet Announcement. Deck entries will not be allowed. Corrections to improve seed times will not be considered under any circumstances. Check carefully: the time to make corrections is by July 24.

8. Relay cards must include swimmers’ first and last names and ages in order of swim. All relay swimmers must be entered in the meet. Violations will result in disqualification of the swim.

9. Food for coaches and officials compliments of CSI will be served in the locker room at the end of the hallway next to the office. Coffee and light breakfast will be available at or before the beginning of morning warm-ups. Lunch will be available at 11:45AM, and sandwiches and beverages will be served at approximately 5:15PM daily.
