Practice Starts

Update: Practice starts will not be available for the rescheduled meet.

Starting blocks will be used at this meet. For swimmers who are not familiar with starting off a starting block, the Swim Center will open the pool for “practice starts only” from 8:30 am to 9:00 am on the morning of the meet. Swimmers must be accompanied by and supervised by a coach who is qualified to give instruction for starting block use, and should enter the facility at the indoor entrance and let the front desk staff know the swimmer is going to be preparing for a meet.

Scratch Deadline and Procedure

If a swimmer, based on previous time rankings, expects they will be seeded in the meet and they either (1) do not plan on participating in the meet or (2) do not want to swim a particular event, they should scratch from the events they do not want to swim. Scratches for this meet will not be accepted after July 4th and must be submitted utilizing the MCSL Online Scratch process.

USA Swimming Sanctioned Meet 

This meet is sanctioned by Potomac Valley Swimming and USA Swimming and officiated by Certified USA Swimming Officials and will be judged using USA Swimming Rules (not MCSL Stroke & Turn Rules). Times swum by swimmers that are members of USA Swimming are considered official USA Swimming times.

Swimmer Check-in Procedures

All swimmers, including alternates, should report to the staging area (behind the blocks, see map) no later than three events prior to the time their event is scheduled to be swum. For example, if the swimmers for event 11 are either on the blocks or in the water, swimmers for events 12, 13 and 14 should have already reported to the staging area. A complete schedule of when swimmers should report to the staging area for each event is provided in the Staging Area Reporting Schedule. Once swimmers for an event have been released from the staging area and moved to the Starting Area, alternates should check-in with the Deck Referee or start area Chief Judge. Only the Deck Referee will place alternates in an event. If there are empty lanes, alternates will be placed in a lane. If there are empty lanes and no alternates present at the start of the event the lanes will not be filled.

Restriction on Use of Technical Swimsuits for 12 & Under Events

This meet is a USA Swimming Approved meet and is conducted under USA Swimming Rules, including rule 102.8.1.f which states that no technical suits shall be worn by any 12 and under USA Swimming athlete member. Thus all swimmers in 12 and under events must be in compliance with this rule and may not swim in a technical suit.

A technical suit is defined by USA Swimming as having: (1) any bonded or taped seams regardless of its fabric or silhouette; or (2) woven fabric extending past the hips.
