December 11-14
General Considerations
- Please follow the established schedule. If you believe special circumstances exist, or additional sprint lanes are needed, please contact the officials on deck.
- Coaches should maintain contact with their swimmers as much as practical — verbally and visually — throughout the warm-up period.
- Coaches — please coordinate with marshals prior to using surgical tubing for sprint work.
- Swimmers and coaches please cooperate with marshals regarding procedures.
- Swimmers should not step up on the blocks when a backstroker is preparing to start.
- No paddles or fins in the competition pool. Equipment may be used in the dive well provided it does not endanger other swimmers.
