A-League finalists & Parents: 

This is the final updates - Go Warriors!

Attached is what I hope is the final heat sheet for tomorrow. Please share with your swimmers and parents. I have not listed relay swimmers, you can let me know tomorrow if you have any changes. 

A few reminders about today: 

• Doors open at 10:00 am.
• No coach's hospitality & no concessions - this is a league decision for all events. Bring your own food/drinks.
• Tables - each team has an assigned table around the deck. Each table has wipes and masks for your team.
• No chairs - please don't bring your own. Deck space will be tight. Teams on the bleacher side of the pool can have coaches sit in the bleachers. I will supply chairs for teams on the scoreboard side.
• Programs - I will supply 3 for each school.
• Relays are split into 3 heats to allow for more space behind the deck - Heats 2 & 3 will have results combined. A relay team in heat 2 can finish in the top 3.
• Warm-up/Warm-down - teams are assigned to specific warm-up and warm-down lanes. Teams should not share areas to swim in.
• USA Swimming Officials - the meet will be observed. We will have a sign-up table outside of the pool.
• Sign-in Sheets - all teams need to turn in the attached check-in sheet to me.

Relays - Warm-up:

The top 6 seeded teams will warm-up in the lane they will compete in.The 7th & 8th seeded teams will warm-up in the diving well.

Relays will be seeded as three heats to allow for empty lanes between each team.

Heat 1 - 7th & 8th place teams after prelims - lanes 3 & 5

Heat 2 -4th, 5th & 6th place teams after prelims - lanes 2, 4 & 6

Heat 3 - 1st, 2nd & 3rd place teams after prelims - lanes 1, 3 & 5

Teams in heat 1 can’t finish higher than 7th place.Results from all 6 teams in heats 2 & 3 will be merged as if it was one Championship heat.

Individual Event Warm-up/Warm-down:

In an effort to limit any potential COVID exposure, we will rotate assigned warm-up lanes for each individual event.Lanes will be assigned to specific teams.We will rotate lanes, so that the same two teams are not always in the diving well.Swimmers should use the same lanes for warm-down at the conclusion of the final heat each of each event.

On Deck Procedure:

Deck is marked for four heats to line up, all 6 feet apart. Heats should move up as we place music between each heat.

• D Final will line-up next to the chairs behind the blocks.
• C Final will start behind the backdrops in front of the diving well.
• B Final will start in front of the diving well bleachers
• A final will start on the north side of the diving well.
• Each block has four hooks for masks to be placed on before the start of each event.
• We will play music between each heat and march the final heat out to music.

Good luck and have fun ladies - you have earned it! 

Go Warriors!
