2015 CAVALIER KICK OFF-UPDATED 11/18

2015 CAVALIER KICK OFF

Valdese Aquatic Center

312 Massel Ave. SE

Valdese, NC 28690

We are limited to TWO swimmers per event for this meet except for 50 Free where we can have FOUR.  Please note that we were as fair as possible in getting everyone into an event and/or relay.  Remember that this is not our only swim meet.  This is a Varsity sport and we do try our best to be as competitive as possible in all meets but take into consideration swimmers that are trying to qualify in individual events for Regionals.

DIRECTIONS FROM MEET HOST/DIRECTOR - EAST BURKE HIGH SCHOOL

1-  Seating inside the pool: There will be areas inside the pool marked for each team. Please adhere to these areas, as we are trying to accommodate a good number of swimmers while also keeping room for spectators. Please keep your areas clean as we are guests of the Valdese Recreation Department.

Only coaches will be allowed on the peninsula. Any swimmers may certainly come and speak to their coaches, but please ask them not to stay unless they are assisting you with something. Please try to help us keep the block area clear of anyone except swimmers about to swim, coaches, and volunteers.

2-  Timing/ Officials/ Volunteers: Please submit a couple of names of volunteers to me with your entries so I can go ahead and have timers squared away before we start and don't have to delay. If we all pitch in, there shouldn't be any shortage of workers. Any officials you have, please have them email me so we can be sure to get them paid. 

3-   Warm-ups: We will have general warm-ups in all 10 lanes from 5-5:30. At 5:30, lanes 1,2,9,10 will remain circle swim lanes, while 3-8 will be used for starts. The pool will close at 5:45 to allow for a timers meeting and a coaches and captain's meeting. During the meet, lane 9 will be closed and lane 10 will be available for warm-up and cool down.

4-  Timing System: We will be using push buttons for our timing system without the pads. If you want to record splits, please have someone to record them on deck. Timer sheets will be used for back-up times.

5-  Results/Scoring: We will be scoring the meet to 16 places, with double for each relay. Each team will be able to score two swimmers and two relays. In the event you have multiple conference members participating, dual scores can be compiled from results at the end of the meet (I will be happy to do this for SMAC teams, if desired).

6-  Meet Mobile: The meet will be available on Meet Mobile and can be found by searching for "Valdese" in the meet search.

7-  Heat Sheets: We will email heat sheets prior to the beginning of the meet and provide 2 printed heat sheets per team once we are sure of all individual entries. 

8-  Concessions: The Concession stand will be open during the meet. They have a variety of items for great prices. Please encourage swimmers or parents to visit our concession stand
