Warm-Up Procedures

Entry Into Pool

·         All swimmers must enter the pool from the starting end of the pool.

Host Team Monitoring Warm-Ups

·         New Jersey Swimming officials will monitor warm-ups.

·         All general warm-up lanes will swim in a counterclockwise direction.

Warm-Up Schedules

·         The warm-up sessions will be 30-minute each, divided by teams.  There will be designated sprint lanes and pace lanes during the last 10 minutes of each session.

Entry Times

·         New Jersey Swimming does not allow “NT” or “No Time” to be used as an entry time.

·         All entry times must be in long course meters.

·         Converted times from SCY or SCM are acceptable for this meet and for New Jersey JOs.

·         All entry times equal to or faster than the New Jersey Swimming Long Course Gold Time will be entered in the non-award division.  Such entries will be for official time purposes only.

Check-In

·         All check-in sheets must be turned into the scoring table 30 minutes before the start of each session.  Swimmers who are competing will have a line through their name.  Swimmers who are to be scratched for all events in the session will have their names circled with “SCR” noted next to the circle.  Swimmers scratching a single event will have a line through his or her name and the event number circled with “SCR” next to the circle.

·         Failure to follow the check-in procedure will result in the swimmer(s) being scratched from the session.

·         All distance events will have a positive check-in that will be posted at the scoring table or the control room.

Starts

“Fly-over” (“over-the-top”) starts may be used.

Distance Events – 400m Freestyle and 400m Individual Medley

·         Will be run fastest to slowest.

·         Heats will alternate between women and men and may be combined.

·         Swimmers must provide their own timer.

Heat-Limited Events

·         The 400m Freestyle and 400m Individual Medley will be “Heat-Limited” Events.

·         The host team wants to accommodate all swimmers in these events.

·         Entries for these events should only be swimmers who have trained and are trying to make JOs.  Swimmers who enter this event just “to make the distance” should not enter.

·         If the combined girls’ and boys’ entries total more than 64 swims, then cuts may be made.  If necessary, cuts will first be made by gender over 32.  If one gender has fewer than 32 entries, the other gender’s number will be increased to the number that puts both entry numbers at 64.

·         Swimmers below the “heat limit” number will have the option of changing to another event.

·         Swimmers can stay in those “heat-limited” events with the possibility that scratches or the timeline will allow the opportunity to swim.  In either case, if that swimmer is below the “heat limit” number and does not swim, he or she will have the entry fee refunded.

·         Refunds will be mailed to the team within seven (7) days of the conclusion of the meet.

Relays

·         All relays MUST HAVE THE CORRECT FOUR NAMES LISTED AND THE CORRECT ORDER for that relay to be eligible.

·         Coaches must turn in a relay card prior to a relay swimming; it must list correct swimmers’ names in correct order.

·         Relays will be pre-seeded and teams will report to the blocks on their own.

·         Since this is a Silver-level meet, only swimmers with "SLOWER THAN GOLD TIME STANDARD" times in the 50 meter distance of the stroke prior to this meet may swim on relays.  The Meet Referee and/or the meet jury will handle any protest of relay swimmers during the meet.  New Jersey Swimming will handle any protest of relay swimmers after the meet (see New Jersey Swimming Verification Form).
