Meet & Warm Up Schedule
***As far as the conduct of the meet we will run chase starts for prelims but not for 12 and unders. We will have the outdoor 10 lane 50 meter pool available all day for warm up each day as weather permits. We also have up to 12 lanes available 25 yard indoors for warm up warm down.
***We are going to need to limit the Senior 400 Free for boys and girls to 12 heats each for prelims to expedite the meet per the meet information. No other deck seeded event will be limited.
After the finish to a great short course season, we move on to the long course swimming season, where all of our meets in the spring and summer are swum in a long course or 50 meter pool rather than a short course 25 yard pool.
The first long course swim meet will be our Arena Long Course Invitational to be held May 4-6 at the Baylor School Natatorium. We will then follow that meet up with the UltraSwim OPEN (June 2-3) that our club will host as well. Finally, please also take notice that the scratch deadline for the Richard Quick Invitational in Auburn, AL (June 22-24) is early. This meet fills up very quickly so entries will be due early in order to secure a space in the meet for our team.
