Notes From the Meet Host:
1. Changes to warmup/Start times:
The meet host has moved the AM 13 & Over sessions BACK one hour (warm-ups now begin at 8:00 AM both days.) This change is not reflected in the meet packet, but it is on updated on the attached timeline.
Additionally, the Sunday afternoon session (12 & Under) has been moved BACK a 1/2 hour. Again, that change is updated on the timeline only, and the timeline supersedes the meet info packet. All other sessions remain unchanged. If any swimmer cannot swim some or all of their events due to the new session times, the meet host is willing to refund entry fees.
